Alpine: multiple xen packages: security update to 4.16.2-r1
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 424679
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- Xenstore: Guests can crash xenstored Due to a bug in the fix of XSA-115 a malicious guest can cause
xenstored to use a wrong pointer during node creation in an error path, resulting in a crash of xenstored
or a memory corruption in xenstored causing further damage. Entering the error path can be controlled by
the guest e.g. by exceeding the quota value of maximum nodes per domain. (CVE-2022-42309)
- x86: unintended memory sharing between guests On Intel systems that support the "virtualize APIC accesses"
feature, a guest can read and write the global shared xAPIC page by moving the local APIC out of xAPIC
mode. Access to this shared page bypasses the expected isolation that should exist between two guests.
(CVE-2022-42327)
