VUL-0: CVE-2022-33745: xen: insufficient TLB flush for x86 PV guests in shadow mode (XSA-408)
Last modified: 2022-10-19 22:22:26 UTC
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Xen Security Advisory CVE-2022-33745 / XSA-408 insufficient TLB flush for x86 PV guests in shadow mode *** EMBARGOED UNTIL 2022-07-26 12:00 UTC *** ISSUE DESCRIPTION ================= For migration as well as to work around kernels unaware of L1TF (see XSA-273), PV guests may be run in shadow paging mode. To address XSA-401, code was moved inside a function in Xen. This code movement missed a variable changing meaning / value between old and new code positions. The now wrong use of the variable did lead to a wrong TLB flush condition, omitting flushes where such are necessary. IMPACT ====== The known (observed) impact would be a Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host, due to running out of memory. Privilege escalation and information leaks cannot be ruled out. VULNERABLE SYSTEMS ================== All versions of Xen with the XSA-401 fixes applied are vulnerable. Only x86 PV guests can trigger this vulnerability, and only when running in shadow mode. Shadow mode would be in use when migrating guests or as a workaround for XSA-273 (L1TF). MITIGATION ========== Not running x86 PV guests will avoid the vulnerability. RESOLUTION ========== Applying the appropriate attached patch resolves this issue. Note that patches for released versions are generally prepared to apply to the stable branches, and may not apply cleanly to the most recent release tarball. Downstreams are encouraged to update to the tip of the stable branch before applying these patches. xsa408.patch xen-unstable - Xen 4.14.x xsa408-4.13.patch Xen 4.13.x $ sha256sum xsa408* 55f81ac154da27df1b3f5d50b6416e7bdcce433d995a29de5d3f8544706a9d32 xsa408.patch 9c8c25e47760d01e1984f243f7605ef101f81eccf67ba4368962641a603f196d xsa408-4.13.patch $ 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.)

The following have received so far the patch for XSA-401 (bnc#1199965) that moved the logic down: - SUSE:SLE-12-SP5:Update - SUSE:SLE-15-SP1:Update - SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update - SUSE:SLE-15-SP3:Update - SUSE:SLE-15-SP4:Update Not sure if there are plans to submit to the rest of codestreams for that bug by the way, but they are tracked as affected at the moment.
