    - CVE-2021-4440: x86/xen: drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call (bsc#1227069).



Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - x86/xen: Drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call commit afd30525a659ac0ae0904f0cb4a2ca75522c3123 upstream.
    USERGS_SYSRET64 is used to return from a syscall via SYSRET, but a Xen PV guest will nevertheless use the     IRET hypercall, as there is no sysret PV hypercall defined. So instead of testing all the prerequisites     for doing a sysret and then mangling the stack for Xen PV again for doing an iret just use the iret exit     from the beginning. This can easily be done via an ALTERNATIVE like it is done for the sysenter compat     case already. It should be noted that this drops the optimization in Xen for not restoring a few registers     when returning to user mode, but it seems as if the saved instructions in the kernel more than compensate     for this drop (a kernel build in a Xen PV guest was slightly faster with this patch applied). While at it     remove the stale sysret32 remnants. [ pawan: Brad Spengler and Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org>     reported a problem with the 5.10 backport commit edc702b4a820 (x86/entry_64: Add VERW just before     userspace transition). When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y, CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS is not executed in     syscall_return_via_sysret path as USERGS_SYSRET64 is runtime patched to: .cpu_usergs_sysret64 = { 0x0f,     0x01, 0xf8, 0x48, 0x0f, 0x07 }, // swapgs; sysretq which is missing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS. It turns out     dropping USERGS_SYSRET64 simplifies the code, allowing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS to be explicitly added to     syscall_return_via_sysret path. Below is with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y and this patch applied:
    syscall_return_via_sysret: ... <+342>: swapgs <+345>: xchg %ax,%ax <+347>: verw -0x1a2(%rip) <------     <+354>: sysretq ] (CVE-2021-4440)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-988744 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    x86/xen: Drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call

    commit afd30525a659ac0ae0904f0cb4a2ca75522c3123 upstream.

    USERGS_SYSRET64 is used to return from a syscall via SYSRET, but     a Xen PV guest will nevertheless use the IRET hypercall, as there     is no sysret PV hypercall defined.

    So instead of testing all the prerequisites for doing a sysret and     then mangling the stack for Xen PV again for doing an iret just use     the iret exit from the beginning.

    This can easily be done via an ALTERNATIVE like it is done for the     sysenter compat case already.

    It should be noted that this drops the optimization in Xen for not     restoring a few registers when returning to user mode, but it seems     as if the saved instructions in the kernel more than compensate for     this drop (a kernel build in a Xen PV guest was slightly faster with     this patch applied).

    While at it remove the stale sysret32 remnants.

      [ pawan: Brad Spengler and Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org>                reported a problem with the 5.10 backport commit edc702b4a820                (x86/entry_64: Add VERW just before userspace transition).

               When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y, CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS is not executed in                syscall_return_via_sysret path as USERGS_SYSRET64 is runtime                patched to:

            .cpu_usergs_sysret64    = { 0x0f, 0x01, 0xf8,                                         0x48, 0x0f, 0x07 }, // swapgs; sysretq

               which is missing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS. It turns out dropping                USERGS_SYSRET64 simplifies the code, allowing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS                to be explicitly added to syscall_return_via_sysret path. Below                is with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y and this patch applied:

               syscall_return_via_sysret:
               ...
               <+342>:   swapgs                <+345>:   xchg   %ax,%ax                <+347>:   verw   -0x1a2(%rip)  <------                <+354>:   sysretq       ]
