The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

  - libxc: builder: limit maximum size of kernel/ramdisk.
    Allowing user supplied kernels of arbitrary sizes,     especially during decompression, can swallow up dom0     memory leading to either virtual address space     exhaustion in the builder process or allocation     failures/OOM killing of both toolstack and unrelated     processes. We disable these checks when building in a     stub domain for pvgrub since this uses the guest's own     memory and is isolated. Decompression of gzip compressed     kernels and ramdisks has been safe since     14954:58205257517d (Xen 3.1.0 onwards). This is XSA-25 /     CVE-2012-4544. Also make explicit checks for buffer     overflows in various decompression routines. These were     already ruled out due to other properties of the code     but check them as a belt-and-braces measure.

    [ Includes 25589:60f09d1ab1fe for CVE-2012-2625]     (CVE-2012-4544)

  - compat/gnttab: Prevent infinite loop in compat code c/s     20281:95ea2052b41b, which introduces Grant Table version     2 hypercalls introduces a vulnerability whereby the     compat hypercall handler can fall into an infinite loop.
    If the watchdog is enabled, Xen will die after the     timeout. This is a security problem, XSA-24 /     CVE-2012-4539. (CVE-2012-4539)

  - xen/mm/shadow: check toplevel pagetables are present     before unhooking them. If the guest has not fully     populated its top-level PAE entries when it calls     HVMOP_pagetable_dying, the shadow code could try to     unhook entries from MFN 0. Add a check to avoid that     case. This issue was introduced by c/s     21239:b9d2db109cf5. This is a security problem, XSA-23 /     CVE-2012-4538. (CVE-2012-4538)

  - x86/physmap: Prevent incorrect updates of m2p mappings     In certain conditions, such as low memory, set_p2m_entry     can fail. Currently, the p2m and m2p tables will get out     of sync because we still update the m2p table after the     p2m update has failed. If that happens, subsequent     guest-invoked memory operations can cause BUGs and     ASSERTs to kill Xen. This is fixed by only updating the     m2p table iff the p2m was successfully updated. This is     a security problem, XSA-22 / CVE-2012-4537.
    (CVE-2012-4537)

  - x86/physdev: Range check pirq parameter from guests     Otherwise Xen will read beyond either end of the struct     domain.arch.pirq_emuirq array, usually resulting in a     fatal page fault. This vulnerability was introduced by     c/s 23241:d21100f1d00e, which adds a call to     domain_pirq_to_emuirq which uses the guest provided pirq     value before range checking it, and was fixed by c/s     23573:584c2e5e03d9 which changed the behaviour of the     domain_pirq_to_emuirq macro to use radix trees instead     of a flat array. This is XSA-21 / CVE-2012-4536.
    (CVE-2012-4536)

  - VCPU/timers: Prevent overflow in calculations, leading     to DoS vulnerability The timer action for a vcpu     periodic timer is to calculate the next expiry time, and     to reinsert itself into the timer queue. If the deadline     ends up in the past, Xen never leaves __do_softirq. The     affected PCPU will stay in an infinite loop until Xen is     killed by the watchdog (if enabled). This is a security     problem, XSA-20 / CVE-2012-4535. (CVE-2012-4535)

  - Correct RTC time offset update error for HVM guest     changeset 24947:b198ada9689d

  - always release vm running lock on VM shutdown Before     this patch, when xend restarted, the VM running lock     will not be released on shutdown, so the VM could never     start again. Talked with Junjie, we recommend always     releasing the lock on VM shutdown. So even when xend     restarted, there should be no stale lock leaving there.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2013-0241 advisory.

  - The PV domain builder in Xen 4.2 and earlier does not validate the size of the kernel or ramdisk (1)     before or (2) after decompression, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service     (domain 0 memory consumption) via a crafted (a) kernel or (b) ramdisk. (CVE-2012-4544)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2012-4544     Insufficient validation of kernel or ramdisk sizes in     the Xen PV domain builder could result in denial of     service.

  - CVE-2012-5511     Several HVM control operations performed insufficient     validation of input, which could result in denial of     service through resource exhaustion.

  - CVE-2012-5634     Incorrect interrupt handling when using VT-d hardware     could result in denial of service.

  - CVE-2013-0153     Insufficient restriction of interrupt access could     result in denial of service.

Updated xen packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The xen packages contain administration tools and the xend service for managing the kernel-xen kernel for virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

A flaw was found in the way libxc, the Xen control library, handled excessively large kernel and ramdisk images when starting new guests.
A privileged guest user in a para-virtualized guest (a DomU) could create a crafted kernel or ramdisk image that, when attempting to use it during guest start, could result in an out-of-memory condition in the privileged domain (the Dom0). (CVE-2012-4544)

Red Hat would like to thank the Xen project for reporting this issue.

All users of xen are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, the xend service must be restarted for this update to take effect.
