Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code
EUVDB-ID: #VU73892
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42331
CWE-ID:
CWE-1037 - Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows an attacker to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an oversight in the very original Spectre/Meltdown security work (XSA-254) caused by an unprotected RET instruction. An attacker with access to the guest OS can infer the contents of arbitrary host memory, including memory assigned to other guests.
Update the affected package xen to the latest version.

2) Use-after-free
EUVDB-ID: #VU73893
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42332
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
EUVDB-ID: #VU73894
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42333
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service attack or escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to mishandling of pinned cache attributes, related to unbound number of controlled regions. An attacker controlling HVM guests can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack and potentially escalate privileges.
Update the affected package xen to the latest version.

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42334
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service attack or escalate privileges on the system.
The
vulnerability exists due to mishandling of pinned cache attributes,
related to improper serialization of installation and removal of regions. An attacker controlling
HVM guests can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack and potentially
escalate privileges.
