An update that solves 10 vulnerabilities and has 8 fixes is
now available.

Description:

This update for xen fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed:
– CVE-2016-7092: The get_page_from_l3e function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen
allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS
privileges via vectors related to L3 recursive pagetables (bsc#995785)
– CVE-2016-7093: Xen allowed local HVM guest OS administrators to
overwrite hypervisor memory and consequently gain host OS privileges by
leveraging mishandling of instruction pointer truncation during
emulation (bsc#995789)
– CVE-2016-7094: Buffer overflow in Xen allowed local x86 HVM guest OS
administrators on guests running with shadow paging to cause a denial of
service via a pagetable update (bsc#995792)
– CVE-2016-7154: Use-after-free vulnerability in the FIFO event channel
code in Xen allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of
service (host crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code or obtain
sensitive information via an invalid guest frame number (bsc#997731)
– CVE-2016-6836: VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device allowed privileged user inside
the guest to leak information. It occured while processing transmit(tx)
queue, when it reaches the end of packet (bsc#994761)
– CVE-2016-6888: A integer overflow int the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device
support, during the initialisation of new packets in the device, could
have allowed a privileged user inside guest to crash the Qemu instance
resulting in DoS (bsc#994772)
– CVE-2016-6833: A use-after-free issue in the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device
support allowed privileged user inside guest to crash the Qemu instance
resulting in DoS (bsc#994775)
– CVE-2016-6835: Buffer overflow in the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device support,
causing an OOB read access (bsc#994625)
– CVE-2016-6834: A infinite loop during packet fragmentation in the VMWARE
VMXNET3 NIC device support allowed privileged user inside guest to crash
the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (bsc#994421)
– CVE-2016-6258: The PV pagetable code in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed
local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS privileges by
leveraging fast-paths for updating pagetable entries (bsc#988675)

These non-security issues were fixed:
– bsc#993507: virsh detach-disk failing to detach disk
– bsc#991934: Xen hypervisor crash in csched_acct

Description:

   This update for xen fixes several issues.

   These security issues were fixed:
   – CVE-2016-7094: Buffer overflow in Xen allowed local x86 HVM guest OS
     administrators on guests running with shadow paging to cause a denial of
     service via a pagetable update (bsc#995792)
   – CVE-2016-7092: The get_page_from_l3e function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen
     allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS
     privileges via vectors related to L3 recursive pagetables (bsc#995785)
   – CVE-2016-6258: The PV pagetable code in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed
     local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS privileges by
     leveraging fast-paths for updating pagetable entries (bsc#988675)
   – CVE-2016-5338: The (1) esp_reg_read and (2) esp_reg_write functions
     allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (QEMU
     process crash) or execute arbitrary code on the host via vectors related
     to the information transfer buffer (bsc#983984)
   – CVE-2016-5238: The get_cmd function in hw/scsi/esp.c might have allowed
     local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service
     (out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) via vectors related to
     reading from the information transfer buffer in non-DMA mode (bsc#982960)
   – CVE-2014-3672: The qemu implementation in libvirt Xen allowed local
     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host disk consumption) by
     writing to stdout or stderr (bsc#981264)
   – CVE-2016-4441: The get_cmd function in the 53C9X Fast SCSI Controller
     (FSC) support did not properly check DMA length, which allowed local
     guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
     write and QEMU process crash) via unspecified vectors, involving an SCSI
     command (bsc#980724)
   – CVE-2016-4439: The esp_reg_write function in the 53C9X Fast SCSI
     Controller (FSC) support did not properly check command buffer length,
     which allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service
     (out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) or potentially execute
     arbitrary code on the host via unspecified vectors (bsc#980716)
   – CVE-2016-3710: The VGA module improperly performed bounds checking on
     banked access to video memory, which allowed local guest OS
     administrators to execute arbitrary code on the host by changing access
     modes after setting the bank register, aka the “Dark Portal” issue
     (bsc#978164)
   – CVE-2016-4480: The guest_walk_tables function in
     arch/x86/mm/guest_walk.c in Xen did not properly handle the Page Size
     (PS) page table entry bit at the L4 and L3 page table levels, which
     might have allowed local guest OS users to gain privileges via a crafted
     mapping of memory (bsc#978295)
   – CVE-2016-3960: Integer overflow in the x86 shadow pagetable code allowed
     local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host crash) or
     possibly gain privileges by shadowing a superpage mapping (bsc#974038)
   – CVE-2016-3158: The xrstor function did not properly handle writes to the
     hardware FSW.ES bit when running on AMD64 processors, which allowed
     local guest OS users to obtain sensitive register content information
     from another guest by leveraging pending exception and mask bits
     (bsc#973188)
   – CVE-2016-4001: Buffer overflow in the stellaris_enet_receive function,
     when the Stellaris ethernet controller is configured to accept large
     packets, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (QEMU
     crash) via a large packet (bsc#975130)
   – CVE-2016-4002: Buffer overflow in the mipsnet_receive function, when the
     guest NIC is configured to accept large packets, allowed remote
     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and QEMU
     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a packet larger than 1514
     bytes (bsc#975138)
