The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Xen maintains the _GTF_{read,writ}ing bits as appropriate, to inform the guest that a grant is in use. A     guest is expected not to modify the grant details while it is in use, whereas the guest is free to     modify/reuse the grant entry when it is not in use. Under some circumstances, Xen will clear the status     bits too early, incorrectly informing the guest that the grant is no longer in use. A guest may     prematurely believe that a granted frame is safely private again, and reuse it in a way which contains     sensitive information, while the domain on the far end of the grant is still using the grant. Xen 4.9,     4.8, 4.7, 4.6, and 4.5 are affected. (CVE-2017-12855)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

This update for xen fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-12135: Unbounded recursion in grant table code     allowed a malicious guest to crash the host or     potentially escalate privileges/leak information     (XSA-226, bsc#1051787).

  - CVE-2017-12137: Incorrectly-aligned updates to     pagetables allowed for privilege escalation (XSA-227,     bsc#1051788).

  - CVE-2017-12136: Race conditions with maptrack free list     handling allows a malicious guest administrator to crash     the host or escalate their privilege to that of the host     (XSA-228, bsc#1051789).

  - CVE-2017-11434: The dhcp_decode function in     slirp/bootp.c allowed local guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted     DHCP options string (bsc#1049578).

  - CVE-2017-10664: qemu-nbd did not ignore SIGPIPE, which     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (daemon crash) by disconnecting during a     server-to-client reply attempt (bsc#1046637).

  - CVE-2017-12855: Premature clearing of GTF_writing /     GTF_reading lead to potentially leaking sensitive     information (XSA-230 bsc#1052686.

These non-security issues were fixed :

  - bsc#1055695: XEN: 11SP4 and 12SP3 HVM guests can not be     restored after the save using xl stack

  - bsc#1035231: Migration of HVM domU did not use     superpages on destination dom0

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

  - From: Jan Beulich Subject: gnttab: correct pin status     fixup for copy Regardless of copy operations only     setting GNTPIN_hst*, GNTPIN_dev* also need to be taken     into account when deciding whether to clear
    _GTF_[read,writ]ing. At least for consistency with code     elsewhere the read part better doesn't use any mask at     all. This is XSA-230. (CVE-2017-12855)

  - From: Andrew Cooper Subject: grant_table: Default to v1,     and disallow transitive grants The reference counting     and locking discipline for transitive grants is broken.
    Their use is therefore declared out of security support.
    This is XSA-226. Transitive grants are expected to be     unconditionally available with grant table v2. Hiding     transitive grants alone is an ABI breakage for the     guest. Modern versions of Linux and the Windows PV     drivers use grant table v1, but older versions did use     v2. In principle, disabling gnttab v2 entirely is the     safer way to cause guests to avoid using transitive     grants. However, some older guests which defaulted to     using gnttab v2 don't tolerate falling back from v2 to     v1 over migrate. This patch introduces a new command     line option to control grant table behaviour. One     suboption allows a choice of the maximum grant table     version Xen will allow the guest to use, and defaults to     v2. A different suboption independently controls whether     transitive grants can be used. The default case is:
    gnttab=max_ver:2 To disable gnttab v2 entirely, use:
    gnttab=max_ver:1 To allow gnttab v2 and transitive     grants, use: gnttab=max_ver:2,transitive

  - Revert wrong fix for xsa226 [bug 26567225]

  - From 3aab881c7331cf93ffd8d2f2dd9adfd18ed4fc99 Mon Sep 17     00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Cooper Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2017     19:18:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/grant: Disallow     misaligned PTEs Pagetable entries must be aligned to     function correctly. Disallow attempts from the guest to     have a grant PTE created at a misaligned address, which     would result in corruption of the L1 table with     largely-guest-controlled values. This is XSA-227     (CVE-2017-12137)

  - Prerequisite patch for xsa227-4.5.patch There is no     macro ASSERT_UNREACHABLE before OVM3.4 which is needed     by xsa227-4.5.patch This chunk is picked from upstream     commit cacdb0faaa121ac8f792d5bd34cc6bc7c72d21da     (CVE-2017-12137)

  - From: Jan Beulich Subject: gnttab: don't use possibly     unbounded tail calls There is no guarantee that the     compiler would actually translate them to branches     instead of calls, so only ones with a known recursion     limit are okay :

  - __release_grant_for_copy can call itself only once, as
    __acquire_grant_for_copy won't permit use of multi-level     transitive grants,

  - __acquire_grant_for_copy is fine to call itself with the     last argument false, as that prevents further recursion,

  - __acquire_grant_for_copy must not call itself to recover     from an observed change to the active entry's pin count     This is XSA-226. (CVE-2017-12135)

  - From 69549b08eb9bd3a525c07a97d952673a3d02c76a Mon Sep 17     00:00:00 2001 From: Annie Li Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2017     14:36:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] xen: increase default     max grant frames and max maptrack frames Commit     9dfba034e increase default max grant frames to 128 which     is still not enough when the guest has more cpus and     vbd/vif devices, so set it to 256. Also the default max     maptrack frames needs to be increased accordingly.
