            Xen Security Advisory CVE-2017-15590 / XSA-237
                              version 3

                  multiple MSI mapping issues on x86

UPDATES IN VERSION 3
====================

CVE assigned.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION
=================

Multiple issues exist with the setup of PCI MSI interrupts:
- - unprivileged guests were permitted access to devices not owned by
  them, in particular allowing them to disable MSI or MSI-X on any
  device
- - HVM guests can trigger a codepath intended only for PV guests
- - some failure paths partially tear down previously configured
  interrupts, leaving inconsistent state
- - with XSM enabled, caller and callee of a hook disagreed about the
  data structure pointed to by a type-less argument

IMPACT
======

A malicious or buggy guest may cause the hypervisor to crash, resulting
in Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host.  Privilege
escalation and information leaks cannot be excluded.

VULNERABLE SYSTEMS
==================

All Xen versions from at 3.3 onwards are vulnerable.  Xen versions 3.2
and earlier are not vulnerable.

Only x86 systems are affected.  ARM systems are not affected.

Only guests which have a physical device assigned to them can exploit
the vulnerability.

MITIGATION
==========

Not passing through physical devices to untrusted guests will avoid
the vulnerability.

The vulnerability can be avoided if the guest kernel is controlled by
the host rather than guest administrator, provided that further steps
are taken to prevent the guest administrator from loading code into the
kernel (e.g. by disabling loadable modules etc) or from using other
mechanisms which allow them to run code at kernel privilege.

CREDITS
=======

This issue was discovered by Simon Gaiser of Qubes OS Project.

RESOLUTION
==========

Applying the appropriate attached set of patches resolves this issue.

DEPLOYMENT DURING EMBARGO
=========================

Deployment of the patches and/or mitigations described above (or
others which are substantially similar) is permitted during the
embargo, even on public-facing systems with untrusted guest users and
administrators.

But: Distribution of updated software is prohibited (except to other
members of the predisclosure list).

Predisclosure list members who wish to deploy significantly different
patches and/or mitigations, please contact the Xen Project Security
Team.

(Note: this during-embargo deployment notice is retained in
post-embargo publicly released Xen Project advisories, even though it
is then no longer applicable.  This is to enable the community to have
oversight of the Xen Project Security Team's decisionmaking.)
