Summary

An issue was discovered in Xen 4.5.x through 4.9.x allowing attackers (who control a stub domain kernel or tool stack) to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) because of a missing comparison (of range start to range end) within the DMOP map/unmap implementation.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    descriptionAccording to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to the setup of PCI MSI interrupts, which may allow an attacker on the guest to cause a denial of service on the host, potentially disclose sensitive information from the host, or potentially gain elevated privileges on the host. Note that Nessus has checked the changeset versions based on the xen.git change log. Nessus did not check guest hardware configurations or if patches were applied manually to the source code before a recompile and reinstall.

"This update for xen fixes several issues: These security issues were
fixed :

  - CVE-2017-5526: The ES1370 audio device emulation support
    was vulnerable to a memory leakage issue allowing a
    privileged user inside the guest to cause a DoS and/or
    potentially crash the Qemu process on the host
    (bsc#1059777)

  - CVE-2017-15593: Missing cleanup in the page type system
    allowed a malicious or buggy PV guest to cause DoS
    (XSA-242 bsc#1061084)

  - CVE-2017-15592: A problem in the shadow pagetable code
    allowed a malicious or buggy HVM guest to cause DoS or
    cause hypervisor memory corruption potentially allowing
    the guest to escalate its privilege (XSA-243
    bsc#1061086)

  - CVE-2017-15594: Problematic handling of the selector
    fields in the Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT) allowed a
    malicious or buggy x86 PV guest to escalate its
    privileges or cause DoS (XSA-244 bsc#1061087)

  - CVE-2017-15591: Missing checks in the handling of DMOPs
    allowed malicious or buggy stub domain kernels or tool
    stacks otherwise living outside of Domain0 to cause a
    DoS (XSA-238 bsc#1061077)

  - CVE-2017-15589: Intercepted I/O write operations with
    less than a full machine word's worth of data were not
    properly handled, which allowed a malicious unprivileged
    x86 HVM guest to obtain sensitive information from the
    host or other guests (XSA-239 bsc#1061080)

  - CVE-2017-15595: In certain configurations of linear page
    tables a stack overflow might have occured that allowed
    a malicious or buggy PV guest to cause DoS and
    potentially privilege escalation and information leaks
    (XSA-240 bsc#1061081)

  - CVE-2017-15588: Under certain conditions x86 PV guests
    could have caused the hypervisor to miss a necessary TLB
    flush for a page. This allowed a malicious x86 PV guest
    to access all of system memory, allowing for privilege
    escalation, DoS, and information leaks (XSA-241
    bsc#1061082)

  - CVE-2017-15590: Multiple issues existed with the setup
    of PCI MSI interrupts that allowed a malicious or buggy
    guest to cause DoS and potentially privilege escalation
    and information leaks (XSA-237 bsc#1061076)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."

    descriptionAccording to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a race condition that is triggered when handling TLB flush requests. This allows an attacker on the guest to access all system memory, allowing them to cause a denial of service, disclose sensitive information, or gain elevated privileges on the host. Note that Nessus has checked the changeset versions based on the xen.git change log. Nessus did not check guest hardware configurations or if patches were applied manually to the source code before a recompile and reinstall.
