Summary
x86 pv: Insufficient care with non-coherent mappings T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Xen maintains a type reference count for pages, in addition to a regular reference count. This scheme is used to maintain invariants required for Xen's safety, e.g. PV guests may not have direct writeable access to pagetables; updates need auditing by Xen. Unfortunately, Xen's safety logic doesn't account for CPU-induced cache non-coherency; cases where the CPU can cause the content of the cache to be different to the content in main memory. In such cases, Xen's safety logic can incorrectly conclude that the contents of a page is safe.

Este esquema es usado para mantener invariantes requeridos para la seguridad de Xen, por ejemplo, los invitados de PV no pueden tener acceso directo de escritura a las tablas de p\u00e1ginas; las actualizaciones necesitan ser auditadas por Xen. Desafortunadamente, la l\u00f3gica de seguridad de Xen no presenta en cuenta la no coherencia de la cach\u00e9 inducida por la CPU; casos en los que la CPU puede causar que el contenido de la cach\u00e9 sea diferente al contenido en la memoria principal. En estos casos, la l\u00f3gica de seguridad de Xen puede concluir incorrectamente que el contenido de una p\u00e1gina es seguro\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"HIGH\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"baseScore\":6.7,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":0.8,\"impactScore\":5.9}],\"cvssMetricV2\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"2.0\",\"vectorString\":\"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C\",\"accessVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"accessComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"authentication\":\"NONE\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"COMPLETE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"COMPLETE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"COMPLETE\",\"baseScore\":7.2},\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":10.0,\"acInsufInfo\":false,\"obtainAllPrivilege\":false,\"obtainUserPrivilege\":false,\"obtainOtherPrivilege\":false,\"userInteractionRequired\":false}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"NVD-CWE-noinfo\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:xen:xen:*:*:*:*:*:*:x86:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"EF4E17C2-244F-4E5A-A5F8-4626CD1AC11A\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:fedoraproject:fedora:35:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"80E516C0-98A4-4ADE-B69F-66A772E2BAAA\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:fedoraproject:fedora:36:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"5C675112-476C-4D7C-BCB9-A2FB2D0BC9FD\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:debian:debian_linux:11.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"FA6FEEC2-9F11-4643-8827-749718254FED\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/06/09/4\",\"source\":\"security@xen.org\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-402.html\",\"source\":\"security@xen.org\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/OH65U6FTTB5MLH5A6Q3TW7KVCGOG4MYI/\",\"source\":\"security@xen.org\"},{\"url\":\"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/RKRXZ4LHGCGMOG24ZCEJNY6R2BTS4S2Q/\",\"source\":\"security@xen.org\"},{\"url\":\"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202208-23\",\"source\":\"security@xen.org\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://www.debian.org/security/2022/dsa-5184\",\"source\":\"security@xen.org\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://xenbits.xenproject.org/xsa/advisory-402.txt\",\"source\":\"security@xen.org\",\"tags\":[\"Vendor Advisory\"]}]}}"
