Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Xen, allowing attackers on a Xen Virtual Machine to execute arbitrary code, cause Denial of Service, or gain access to data on the host.
Background
Xen is a bare-metal hypervisor.
Affected Packages
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-emulation/xen < 4.2.2-r1 >= 4.2.2-r1 2 app-emulation/xen-tools < 4.2.2-r3 >= 4.2.2-r3 3 app-emulation/xen-pvgrub < 4.2.2-r1 >= 4.2.2-r1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 affected packages
Impact
===== Guest domains could possibly gain privileges, execute arbitrary code, or cause a Denial of Service on the host domain (Dom0). Additionally, guest domains could gain information about other virtual machines running on the same host or read arbitrary files on the host.
Workaround
The CVEs listed below do not currently have fixes, but only apply to Xen setups which have "tmem" specified on the hypervisor command line. TMEM is not currently supported for use in production systems, and administrators using tmem should disable it. Relevant CVEs: * CVE-2012-2497 * CVE-2012-6030 * CVE-2012-6031 * CVE-2012-6032 * CVE-2012-6033 * CVE-2012-6034 * CVE-2012-6035 * CVE-2012-6036
