Re: [Xen-users] [Xen-devel] Security patches

Hi,

It looks like the patch that has been provided on Xen Security Advisory 11 (CVE-2012-3433) doesn't applied for Xen 3.4.4.

When I try to apply this patch and I am getting the below error,

1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file xen/arch/x86/mm/p2m.c.rej
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file xen/arch/x86/mm/p2m.c.rej

Seems there is no for loop "for ( gfn=0; gfn < p2m->max_mapped_pfn; gfn++ )" on xen/arch/x86/mm/p2m.c.rej on xen3.4.4 source instead if loop only exists.

p2m.c: && (gfn + (1UL << page_order) - 1 > d->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn) )
p2m.c: d->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn = gfn + (1UL << page_order) - 1;
p2m.c: if ( gfn > d->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn )
p2m.c: if ( gfn <= current->domain->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn )
p2m.c: if ( test_linear && (gfn <= d->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn) )
p2m.c.orig: && (gfn + (1UL << page_order) - 1 > d->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn) )
p2m.c.orig: d->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn = gfn + (1UL << page_order) - 1;
p2m.c.orig: if ( gfn > d->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn )
p2m.c.orig: if ( gfn <= current->domain->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn )
p2m.c.orig: if ( test_linear && (gfn <= d->arch.p2m->max_mapped_pfn) )
p2m.c.rej: for ( gfn=0; gfn < p2m->max_mapped_pfn; gfn++ )
p2m.c.rej: for ( gfn=0; gfn < p2m->max_mapped_pfn; gfn++ )

So I guess this patch applicable for Xen 4.x only. If you update the patch for Xen 3.4 that would be great.

I expect it does effect 3.4, but only if you are running on one of the
listed processors.

security@xxxxxxx doesn't provide security support for 3.4 any more. If
you aren't able to backport the 4.0 patch yourself, you would need to
speak to Keith Coleman who is the 3.4 stable maintainer.

I already pointed you at http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Security_Announcements
which should have all the links you need.
