CVE-2015-4103

Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x does not properly restrict write access to the host MSI message data field, which allows local x86 HVM guest administrators to cause a denial of service (host interrupt handling confusion) via vectors related to qemu and accessing spanning multiple fields.

USN-2630-1 — qemu, qemu-kvm vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:14.04:LTS: qemu

Matt Tait discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the virtual PCNET driver. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. (CVE-2015-3209)

Kurt Seifried discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain temporary files. A local attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-4037)

Jan Beulich discovered that the QEMU Xen code incorrectly restricted access to the PCI MSI mask bits. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-4104)

Jan Beulich discovered that the QEMU Xen code incorrectly handled MSI-X error messages. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-4105)
