Grant copying code made an implication that any grant pin would be accompanied by a suitable page reference. Other portions of code, however, did not match up with that assumption. When such a grant copy operation is being done on a grant of a dying domain, the assumption turns out wrong. A malicious guest administrator can cause hypervisor memory corruption, most likely resulting in host crash and a Denial of Service. Privilege escalation and information leaks cannot be ruled out." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-236.html", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-236.html" }, { "name": "101564", "refsource": "BID", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/101564" }, { "name": "[oss-security] 20171024 Xen Security Advisory 236 (CVE-2017-15597) - pin count / page reference race in grant table code", "refsource": "MLIST", "url": "http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/10/24/3" }, { "name": "DSA-4050", "refsource": "DEBIAN", "url": "https://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-4050" }, { "name": "https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX229057", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX229057" }, { "name": "1039653", "refsource": "SECTRACK", "url": "http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1039653" }, { "name": "[debian-lts-announce] 20181018 [SECURITY] [DLA 1549-1] xen security update", "refsource": "MLIST", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2018/10/msg00009.html" } ] } }
