An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has 16 fixes is now available.
Description:
This update for xen fixes the following issues:
Security issues fixed:
o Fixed an issue which could allow malicious PV guests may cause a host crash
or gain access to data pertaining to other guests.Additionally, vulnerable
configurations are likely to be unstable even in the absence of an attack
(bsc#1126198).
o Fixed multiple access violations introduced by XENMEM_exchange hypercall
which could allow a single PV guest to leak arbitrary amounts of memory,
leading to a denial of service (bsc#1126192).
o Fixed an issue which could allow a malicious unprivileged guest userspace
process to escalate its privilege to that of other userspace processes in
the same guest and potentially thereby to that of the guest operating
system (bsc#1126201).
o Fixed an issue which could allow malicious or buggy x86 PV guest kernels to
mount a Denial of Service attack affecting the whole system (bsc#1126197).
o Fixed an issue which could allow an untrusted PV domain with access to a
physical device to DMA into its own pagetables leading to privilege
escalation (bsc#1126195).
o Fixed an issue which could allow a malicious or buggy x86 PV guest kernels
can mount a Denial of Service attack affecting the whole system (bsc#
1126196).
o CVE-2019-6778: Fixed a heap buffer overflow in tcp_emu() found in slirp
(bsc#1123157).
o Fixed an issue which could allow malicious 64bit PV guests to cause a host
crash (bsc#1127400).
o Fixed an issue which could allow malicious or buggy guests with passed
through PCI devices to be able to escalate their privileges, crash the
host, or access data belonging to other guests. Additionally memory leaks
were also possible (bsc#1126140).
o Fixed a race condition issue which could allow malicious PV guests to
escalate their privilege to that of the hypervisor (bsc#1126141).
o CVE-2019-9824: Fixed an information leak in SLiRP networking implementation
which could allow a user/process to read uninitialised stack memory
contents (bsc#1129623).
Other issues addressed:
o Upstream bug fixes (bsc#1027519)
o Packages should no longer use /var/adm/fillup-templates (bsc#1069468).
o Added Xen cmdline option "suse_vtsc_tolerance" to avoid TSC emulation for
HVM domUs (bsc#1026236).
o Fixed an issue where setup of grant_tables and other variables may fail
(bsc#1126325).
o Fixed a building issue (bsc#1119161).
o Added a requirement for xen, xl.cfg firmware="pvgrub32|pvgrub64 (bsc#
1127620).
o Fixed a segmetation fault in Libvirt when crash triggered on top of HVM
guest (bsc#1120067).
