gnttab: cache-flush handling may cause page reference leak
With its original introduction, GNTTAB_cache_flush was made available uniformly. XSA-232 (CVE-2017-14318) then covered an omitted NULL pointer check, yet the addition of that check failed to adjust the subsequent error path. That error path fails to drop a pa…

VMX: VMentry failure with branch tracing and blocked states
For XSA-308 logic was introduced, as VMX VMEntry checks do not like the exact combination of state which occurs when #DB in intercepted, Single Stepping is active, and blocked by STI/MovSS is active, despite this being a legitimate state to be in. The resulti…

grant-table: double version change race
XSA-501 was about issues with v1 -> v2 and v2 -> v1 changes racing certain other grant table operations. Sadly a v2 -> v1 -> v2 change has yet another effect which wasn't accounted for: During the first change, status pages would be freed. During the second c…

x86: XPTI may break on huge-memory systems
XPTI (Xen Page Table Isolation) was introduced to mitigate Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754, one aspect of XSA-254). This involves copying 64-bit PV guest page table entries from guest-chosen root page tables to the Xen- chosen one which is in actual use by hardware. …

x86/AMD: ineffectual Zenbleed workaround
The workaround for XSA-433 (Zenbleed, CVE-2023-20593) was later re-worked to better integrate with other manipulations of the same MSR. In this rework an inverted conditional was introduced, resulting in the workaround to not be applied when needed and vice v…

Xenstore: Guests can crash xenstored during Live Update
During Xenstore live update the state record for a Xenstore watch with specified watch depth is written with two bytes missing. This results in an inconsistent state when reading the state back in the new Xenstore, causing a crash of Xenstore or wrong Xenstor…

Unconditionally do TLB flushing ahead of page scrubbing
x86 PV guests can free memory pages while still keeping a stale TLB entry pointing to them. A TLB flush is only issued by Xen (if needed) when the page is re-used. Since it's possible for the page to be scrubbed ahead of the TLB flush, there's a window where …

x86: improper handling of HVM emulation return codes
A guest with a PCI device assigned that has at least a BAR on the IO port space can trigger a BUG() in Xen.

x86: DMs may cause mem leak by IRQ binding
When guests are terminated, various pieces of cleanup need carrying out. The cleaning up of PCI devices which were assigned to guests, and the associated removal of tracking structures for IRQs used by the devices occurs relatively early in the process. Unfor…

PoD: Don't try to reclaim special pages
A guest started with Populated on Demand enabled (PoD) can attempt to reclaim pages which aren't regular guest RAM. This can cause corruption of memory management state in Xen.

High 7.3
correct buffer checks for DM_OP hypercalls
Parts of the DM_OP handling code assumes the caller has provided the required number of buffers for the given operation without any checking being done. As a result, certain operations might access stack rubble as structures are possibly uninitialized.

High 7.3
evtchn: Race between FIFO expand and reset
The EVTCHNOP_expand_array hypercall checks for whether FIFO event channels are enabled, but without holding the correct lock. It can race with EVTCHNOP_reset, resulting in dereferencing a NULL pointer.

Viridian STIMER division by zero
The logic to handle periodic Viridian STIMERs performs a division with an unchecked user-controlled divisor value, that can be set to zero to cause a #DE fault.

x86: Out-of-bounds read in vRTC emulation
Accesses to the CMOS memory contents are done using an indirect IO port pair. Therefore Xen needs to cache the guest chosen index, and one of the usages of the index didn't take the necessary locking to avoid concurrent changes. As a result, a guest could cha…

vNUMA domain cleanup may race other operations
Accessing the vNUMA configuration data of a guest is still possible when domain destruction has already started. The cleaning up of that configuration information is not synchronized with its retrieval by a device model controlling the guest.

vIRQ event channel binding may break Xenstore
