The hypercall VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info is used by a guest to register a shared region with the hypervisor. The region will be mapped into Xen address space so it can be directly accessed. On Arm, the region is accessed with instructions that require a specific alignment. Unfortunately, there is no check that the address provided by the guest will be correctly aligned. As a result, a malicious guest could cause a hypervisor crash by passing a misaligned address. A malicious guest administrator may cause a hypervisor crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). All Xen versions are vulnerable. Only Arm systems are vulnerable. x86 systems are not affected." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-327.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-327.html" }, { "refsource": "MLIST", "name": "[oss-security] 20200707 Xen Security Advisory 327 v3 (CVE-2020-15564) - Missing alignment check in VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info", "url": "http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2020/07/07/5" }, { "refsource": "DEBIAN", "name": "DSA-4723", "url": "https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4723" }, { "refsource": "FEDORA", "name": "FEDORA-2020-fbc13516af", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/VB3QJJZV23Z2IDYEMIHELWYSQBUEW6JP/" }, { "refsource": "FEDORA", "name": "FEDORA-2020-76cf2b0f0a", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/MXESCOVI7AVRNC7HEAMFM7PMEO6D3AUH/" }, { "refsource": "GENTOO", "name": "GLSA-202007-02", "url": "https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202007-02" } ] } }
