CVE-2017-17565 xsa251 xen: improper bug check in x86 log-dirty handling (XSA-251)
ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Memory sharing, available to x86 HVM guests only, uses a special value
in the global machine to physical address translation table (M2P). PV
guests have full control over M2P entries corresponding to pages they
own. A bug check (specifically, an assertion that an M2P entry is not
the special "shared" indicator) was insufficiently qualified, and as a
consequence is triggerable by PV guests in log-dirty mode
(e.g. because of being live migrated).
IMPACT
A malicious or buggy PV guest may cause a hypervisor crash, resulting in
a Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host.
VULNERABLE SYSTEMS
Xen versions 4.0 and later are affected. Xen versions 3.4 and earlier
are not affected.
