Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23033)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to guest_physmap_remove_page() function does not remove p2m mappings. A local user issuing a set/way cache maintenance instruction, then calling the XENMEM_decrease_reservation hypercall to give back memory pages to Xen, can cause information leaks, Denial of Service (DoS), or escalate privileges on the system.


2) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23034)

The vulnerability allows a local user can perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow when unmapping a grant to address XSA-380. A local user can request two forms of mappings to perform a denial of service attack.


3) Incomplete cleanup (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23035)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient cleanup of passed-through device IRQs. An attacker with physical access can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) and escalate privileges on the system.


4) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26356)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to racy interactions between dirty vram tracking and paging log dirty hypercalls. A local user can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26357)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the VT-d domain ID cleanup. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26358)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to RMRR (VT-d) and unity map (AMD-Vi) handling issues. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26359)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to RMRR (VT-d) and unity map (AMD-Vi) handling issues. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26360)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to RMRR (VT-d) and unity map (AMD-Vi) handling issues. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26361)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to RMRR (VT-d) and unity map (AMD-Vi) handling issues. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
