commit 0b56bed864ca9b572473957f0254aefa797216f2 Author: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue Sep 26 20:03:36 2023 +0100 Commit: Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Fri Sep 29 15:54:03 2023 +0200 x86/pv: Correct the auditing of guest breakpoint addresses The use of access_ok() is buggy, because it permits access to the compat translation area. 64bit PV guests don't use the XLAT area, but on AMD hardware, the DBEXT feature allows a breakpoint to match up to a 4G aligned region, allowing the breakpoint to reach outside of the XLAT area. Prior to c/s cda16c1bb223 ("x86: mirror compat argument translation area for 32-bit PV"), the live GDT was within 4G of the XLAT area. All together, this allowed a malicious 64bit PV guest on AMD hardware to place a breakpoint over the live GDT, and trigger a #DB livelock (CVE-2015-8104). Introduce breakpoint_addr_ok() and explain why __addr_ok() happens to be an appropriate check in this case. For Xen 4.14 and later, this is a latent bug because the XLAT area has moved to be on its own with nothing interesting adjacent. For Xen 4.13 and older on AMD hardware, this fixes a PV-trigger-able DoS. This is part of XSA-444 / CVE-2023-34328.
