Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] Xen iopl fixes
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2016 14:14:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1458162709.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)

Hi all-

For those who are seeing this for the first time: any 64-bit Xen PV
domain with IO port access privileges (in practice, this means dom0
AFAIK) and any user programs that use iopl(3) (various old X
drivers, presumably) is probably vulnerable to privilege escalations
by unprivileged programs running in the same PV domain.

There's a long public description of the issue here:

http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-171.html

Changes from v3:
 - Add Jan's R-b.
 - No longer embargoed

Changes from v2: Pretend v2 never happened...

Changes from v1: Use xen/hypervisor.h instead of xen-ops.h (Jan)
