An update that solves 19 vulnerabilities and has two fixes

is now available.

 

Description:

 

 

This updates xen to version 4.4.4_06 to fix the following issues:

 

- An unprivileged user in a guest could gain guest could escalate

privilege to that of the guest kernel, if it had could invoke the

instruction emulator. Only 64-bit x86 HVM guest were affected. Linux

guest have not been vulnerable. (boo#1016340, CVE-2016-10013)

- An unprivileged user in a 64 bit x86 guest could gain information from

the host, crash the host or gain privilege of the host (boo#1009107,

CVE-2016-9383)

- An unprivileged guest process could (unintentionally or maliciously)

obtain

or ocorrupt sensitive information of other programs in the same guest.

Only x86 HVM guests have been affected. The attacker needs to be able

to trigger the Xen instruction emulator. (boo#1000106, CVE-2016-7777)

- A guest on x86 systems could read small parts of hypervisor stack data

(boo#1012651, CVE-2016-9932)

- A malicious guest kernel could hang or crash the host system

(boo#1014298, CVE-2016-10024)

- A malicious guest administrator could escalate their privilege to that

of the host. Only affects x86 HVM guests using qemu older version 1.6.0

or using the qemu-xen-traditional. (boo#1011652, CVE-2016-9637)

- An unprivileged guest user could escalate privilege to that of the guest

administrator on x86 HVM guests, especially on Intel CPUs (boo#1009100,

CVE-2016-9386)

- An unprivileged guest user could escalate privilege to that of the guest

administrator (on AMD CPUs) or crash the system (on Intel CPUs) on

32-bit x86 HVM guests. Only guest operating systems that allowed a new

task to start in VM86 mode were affected. (boo#1009103, CVE-2016-9382)

- A malicious guest administrator could crash the host on x86 PV guests

only (boo#1009104, CVE-2016-9385)

- A malicious guest administrator could get privilege of the host emulator

process on x86 HVM guests. (boo#1009109, CVE-2016-9381)

- A vulnerability in pygrub allowed a malicious guest administrator to

obtain the contents of sensitive host files, or even delete those files

(boo#1009111, CVE-2016-9379, CVE-2016-9380)

- A privileged guest user could cause an infinite loop in the RTL8139

ethernet emulation to consume CPU cycles on the host, causing a DoS

situation (boo#1007157, CVE-2016-8910)

- A privileged guest user could cause an infinite loop in the intel-hda

sound emulation to consume CPU cycles on the host, causing a DoS

situation (boo#1007160, CVE-2016-8909)

- A privileged guest user could cause a crash of the emulator process on

the host by exploiting a divide by zero vulnerability of the JAZZ RC4030

chipset emulation (boo#1005004 CVE-2016-8667)

- A privileged guest user could cause a crash of the emulator process on

the host by exploiting a divide by zero issue of the 16550A UART

emulation (boo#1005005, CVE-2016-8669)

- A privileged guest user could cause an infinite loop in the USB xHCI

emulation, causing a DoS situation on the host (boo#1004016,

CVE-2016-8576)

- A privileged guest user could cause an infinite loop in the ColdFire

Fash Ethernet Controller emulation, causing a DoS situation on the host

(boo#1003030, CVE-2016-7908)

- A privileged guest user could cause an infinite loop in the AMD PC-Net

II emulation, causing a DoS situation on the host (boo#1003032,

CVE-2016-7909)

- Cause a reload of clvm in the block-dmmd script to avoid a blocking

lvchange call (boo#1002496)

- Also unplug SCSI disks in qemu-xen-traditional for upstream unplug

protocol. Before a single SCSI storage devices added to HVM guests could

appear multiple times in the guest. (boo#953518)

- Fix a kernel panic / black screen when trying to boot a XEN kernel on

some UEFI firmwares (boo#1000195)
