Guest effectable page reference leak in MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE handling Insufficient restrictions on certain MMU update hypercalls, Missing privilege level checks in x86 emulation of far branches, Add fix for CVE-2014-0150 to qemu-dm, though it probably isn't exploitable from xen

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Xen has been updated to version 4.2.5 with additional patches to fix six security issues :

  - Guest effectable page reference leak in     MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE handling. (CVE-2014-9030)

  - Insufficient bounding of 'REP MOVS' to MMIO emulated     inside the hypervisor. (CVE-2014-8867)

  - Guest user mode triggerable VM exits not handled by     hypervisor. (bnc#903850)

  - Missing privilege level checks in x86 emulation of far     branches. (CVE-2014-8595)

  - Insufficient restrictions on certain MMU update     hypercalls (CVE-2014-8594). These non-security issues     have been fixed :

  - Xen save/restore of HVM guests cuts off disk and     networking. (bnc#866902)

  - Windows 2012 R2 fails to boot up with greater than 60     vcpus. (bnc#882089)

  - CVE-2014-8866     Jan Beulich discovered that an error in compatibility     mode hypercall argument translation may result in denial     of service.

  - CVE-2014-8867     Jan Beulich discovered that an insufficient restriction     in acceleration support for the 'REP MOVS' instruction     may result in denial of service.

  - CVE-2014-9030     Andrew Cooper discovered a page reference leak in     MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE handling, resulting in denial of     service.
