A corrected patch is attached. The fix is also now available in http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-4.1-testing.hg as changeset 23441:2a91623a5807 ISSUE DESCRIPTION ================= When passing a device which is behind a legacy PCI Bridge through to a guest Xen incorrectly configures the VT-d hardware. This could allow incorrect interrupts to be injected to other guests which also have passthrough devices. In a typical Xen system many devices are owned by domain 0 or driver domains, leaving them vulnerable to such an attack. Such a DoS is likely to have an impact on other guests running in the system. IMPACT ====== A malicious domain, given access to a device which is behind a legacy PCI bridge, can mount a denial of service attack affecting the whole system. VULNERABLE SYSTEMS ================== Xen version 4.0 onwards is vulnerable. Only systems using Intel VT-d for PCI passthrough are vulnerable. Any domain which is given access to a PCI device that is behind a legacy PCI bridge can take advantage of this vulnerability. Domains which are given access to PCIe devices only are not able to take advantage of this vulnerability. MITIGATION ========== This issue can be avoided by not assigning PCI devices which are behind a legacy PCI bridge to untrusted guests. NOTE REGARDING EMBARGO TIMELINE =============================== After discussion with the discloser we have decided to set a longer than usual embargo in order to avoid public disclosure during the holiday period. RESOLUTION ========== Applying the appropriate attached patch resolves this issue. xsa33-4.2-unstable.patch Xen 4.2.x, xen-unstable xsa33-4.1.patch Xen 4.1.x $ sha256sum xsa33*.patch cb015155e63c1ccedfe2ef01b2f2679ac14b00fa20d423bb1570199c3dd66af6 xsa33-4.1.patch ba05474b8e1232318ae010d63d24ff1b15ba4d83e28cdb69d6a76e8f9eb5292c xsa33-4.2-unstable.patch $ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQ8EdlAAoJEIP+FMlX6CvZVs0IAJJBsSxzETJbHGE16+1UEYD5 Tk3STo7nuf/qZKQUc8ORpepRd9+b34jgtwi/kdkqxyo3fza/SXuNNcAhPew1+TtT +GGeXRoNjEQIcho5KjLLEMwogW+gi7I/Y3XM3FZUfKU659sqltqsVly3HC8nstlw iwiAIKcXnuJa/ARMdcV0/IgKBu3AjAd7me3XnKVb7Kl0ZoOo+7FFQRlKxWkSthpJ ALkNoqyPXzlHN9lMfdPJF5Gyxhqprp8Xg9jdEVZnKNQx0Jzl8SsahJWEUVlgeeLo fIGAXgc12yvsL4CRS1z3uSwpon1AgOV0XT9V6xWtoeXraKhmvTQN4LCEqF8ovzg= =qMzC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Download attachment "xsa33-4.1.patch" of type "application/octet-stream" (850 bytes) Download attachment "xsa33-4.2-unstable.patch" of type "application/octet-stream" (855 bytes)
