Summary
Security update for xen
Details

This update for xen fixes the following issues:

These security issues were fixed:

  • CVE-2017-7228: Broken check in memory_exchange() permited PV guest breakout (bsc#1030442).
  • XSA-206: Unprivileged guests issuing writes to xenstore were able to stall progress of the control domain or driver domain, possibly leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) of the entire host (bsc#1030144).
  • CVE-2017-6505: The ohciserviceed_list function in hw/usb/hcd-ohci.c allowed local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors involving the number of link endpoint list descriptors (bsc#1028235).
  • CVE-2017-6414: Memory leak in the vcardapdunew function in card_7816.c in libcacard allowed local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host memory consumption) via vectors related to allocating a new APDU object (bsc#1027570).
  • CVE-2017-2633: The VNC display driver support was vulnerable to an out-of-bounds memory access issue. A user/process inside guest could use this flaw to cause DoS (bsc#1026636).
  • CVE-2016-9603: A privileged user within the guest VM can cause a heap overflow in the device model process, potentially escalating their privileges to that of the device model process (bsc#1028655).

These non-security issues were fixed:

  • bsc#1022555: Timeout in 'execution of /etc/xen/scripts/block add'
  • bsc#1029827: Forward port xenstored
