Message-Id: <E1dTThv-0001xj-LT@xenbits.xenproject.org> Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2017 13:54:07 +0000 From: Xen.org security team <security@....org> To: xen-announce@...ts.xen.org, xen-devel@...ts.xen.org, xen-users@...ts.xen.org, oss-security@...ts.openwall.com CC: Xen.org security team <security-team-members@....org> Subject: Xen Security Advisory 218 (CVE-2017-10913,CVE-2017-10914) - Races in the grant table unmap code -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Xen Security Advisory CVE-2017-10913,CVE-2017-10914 / XSA-218 version 5 Races in the grant table unmap code UPDATES IN VERSION 5 ==================== CVEs assigned. ISSUE DESCRIPTION ================= We have discovered two bugs in the code unmapping grant references. * When a grant had been mapped twice by a backend domain, and then unmapped by two concurrent unmap calls, the frontend may be informed that the page had no further mappings when the first call completed rather than when the second call completed. (CVE-2017-10913.) * A race triggerable by an unprivileged guest could cause a grant maptrack entry for grants to be "freed" twice. The ultimate effect of this would be for maptrack entries for a single domain to be re-used. (CVE-2017-10914.) IMPACT ====== For the first issue, for a short window of time, a malicious backend could still read and write memory that the frontend thought was its own again. Depending on the usage, this could be either an information leak, or a backend-to-frontend privilege escalation. The second issue is more difficult to analyze. It can probably cause reference counts to leak, preventing memory from being freed on domain destruction (denial-of-service), but information leakage or host privilege escalation cannot be ruled out. VULNERABLE SYSTEMS ================== All versions of Xen are vulnerable. Both ARM and x86 are vulnerable. On x86, systems with either PV or HVM guests are vulnerable. MITIGATION ========== None. CREDITS ======= This issue was discovered by Jann Horn of Google Project Zero.

But: Distribution of updated software is prohibited (except to other members of the predisclosure list). Predisclosure list members who wish to deploy significantly different patches and/or mitigations, please contact the Xen Project Security Team. (Note: this during-embargo deployment notice is retained in post-embargo publicly released Xen Project advisories, even though it is then no longer applicable.
