CVE-2017-15590 [HIGH] CVE-2017-15590 xsa237 xen: multiple MSI mapping issues on x86 (XSA-237)
CVE-2017-15590 xsa237 xen: multiple MSI mapping issues on x86 (XSA-237)
ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Multiple issues exist with the setup of PCI MSI interrupts:
- - unprivileged guests were permitted access to devices not owned by
them, in particular allowing them to disable MSI or MSI-X on any
device
- - HVM guests can trigger a codepath intended only for PV guests
- - some failure paths partially tear down previously configured
interrupts, leaving inconsistent state
- - with XSM enabled, caller and callee of a hook disagreed about the
data structure pointed to by a type-less argument
IMPACT
A malicious or buggy guest may cause the hypervisor to crash, resulting
in Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host. Privilege
escalation and information leaks cannot be excluded.
