In "libxl: Do not trust backend for disk eject vdev" (c69871a2fb on
xen.git#staging) we changed libxl_evenable_disk_eject to read the
device vdev out of xenstore from the /libxl path, rather than the
backend path, and to read it during setup rather than on each event.
However, the patch has a mistake:
- GCSPRINTF("%s/dev", backend), NULL);
+ GCSPRINTF("%s/vdev", libxl_path), &configured_vdev);
^
Spot the extra "v". This causes configured_vdev always to be NULL.
configured_vdev is passed to [libxl__]strdup.
In Xen 4.6 and later libxl__strdup is used and tolerates NULL.
evg->vdev is set to NULL. This propagates to the `vdev' field in the
generated event. This may or may not cause further trouble, depending
on the calling application. In our osstest test cases it does not
cause any trouble, so the bug goes undetected.
In Xen 4.5 and earlier, the strdup does not tolerate NULL, and libxl
crashes immediately. This has been detected by osstest as a
regression in Xen 4.5.
IMO this patch should be applied immediately to
xen.git#staging-4.5 (to check that it fixes the osstest regression)
xen.git#staging (to check that it does not break master

because they now need to specify the /libxl path rather than the
backend path.
To do that they enumerate disks by looking in the appropriate area in
/libxl. Previously they scanned various of the backend directories in
dom0 (which was broken for driver domains). It is no longer necessary
to enumerate the various disk backends, because they all use the same
paths in /devices. libxl__device_disk_from_xenstore will parse the
type out of the backend path, for itself. (Indeed, it did so before -
the now-gone type parameter to libxl__append_disk_list_of_type wasn't
used other than to construct the directory to list.)
Finally, remove a redundant store to pdisk->backend_domid in
libxl__append_disk_list[_of_type]. Even before this commit, that
store was not needed because libxl_device_disk_init (called by

We want to stop libxl trustingly reading information from the backend
directory (since this is, of course, writeable by the backend, which
might be a semi-trusted driver domain).
In principle it is wrong in current libxl for anything to try to
divine virtual device configuration from xenstore: the JSON domain
config ought to supply that, and xenstore should only tell us which
devices actually exist.
However:
Firstly, there are several existing places where configuration
information is retrieved from xenstore rather than JSON. We do not
want to reen gineer this in a security patch.
Secondly, we want to make a security patch which can be backported to
versions of libxl without the JSON configuration machinery.
So we take the expedient approach of keeping a copy of the
configuration somewhere we trust, namely /libxl. This is obviously
fairly low-risk, although it does write significantly more keys in
xenstore.
In this patch we make this change in libxl__device_generic_add. This
is responsible for actually writing the vast majority of device
information to xenstore. There are a few loose ends which will be
dealt with in a moment.
Likewise, changes to readers to use the new location will appear in

/local/domain/$DOMID/device.
In particular:
1. A guest has write permission for the frontend path:
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID
which means that the guest can completely delete the frontend.
(They can't recreate it because they don't have write permission
on the containing directory.)
2. A guest has write permission for the backend path recorded in the
frontend, ie, it can write to
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID/backend
which means that the guest can break the association between
frontend and backend.
So we can't rely on iterating over the frontends to find all the
backends, or examining a frontend to discover how a device is
configured.
So, have libxl__device_generic_add record the frontend and backend
paths in /libxl/$DOMID/device, and have libxl__device_destroy remove

pygrub (in identify_disk_image()) detects a DOS style partition table
via the presence of the 0xaa55 signature at the end of the first
sector of the disk.
However this signature is also present in whole-disk configurations
when there is an MBR on the disk. Many filesystems (e.g. ext[234])
include leading padding in their on disk format specifically to enable
this.
So if we think we have a DOS partition table but do not find any
actual partition table entries we may as well try looking at it as a
whole disk image. Worst case is we probe and find there isn't anything
there.
This was reported by Sjors Gielen in Debian bug #745419. The fix was
inspired by a patch by Adi Kriegisch in

then:

Note that fixing this in an architecturally correct way would be quite
a bit more involved: Making the x86 instruction emulator check all
branch targets for validity, plus dealing with invalid rIP resulting
from update_guest_eip() or incoming directly during a VM exit. The only
way to get the latter right would be by not having hardware do the

Note further that there are a two early returns from
vmx_vmexit_handler(): One (through vmx_failed_vmentry()) leads to
domain_crash() anyway, and the other covers real mode only and can
neither occur with a non-canonical rIP nor result in an altered rIP,

We've been told by Intel that inconsistent cachability between
multiple mappings of the same page can affect system stability only
when the affected page is an MMIO one. Since the stale data issue is
of no relevance to the hypervisor (since all guest memory accesses go
through proper accessors and validation), handling of RAM pages
remains unchanged here. Any MMIO mapped by domains however needs to be
done consistently (all cachable mappings or all uncachable ones), in
order to avoid Machine Check exceptions. Since converting existing
cachable mappings to uncachable (at the time an uncachable mapping
gets established) would in the PV case require tracking all mappings,
allow MMIO to only get mapped uncachable (UC, UC-, or WC).
This also implies that in the PV case we mustn't use the L1 PTE update
fast path when cachability flags get altered.
Since in the HVM case at least for now we want to continue honoring
pinned cachability attributes for pages not mapped by the hypervisor,
special case handling of r/o MMIO pages (forcing UC) gets added there.
Arguably the counterpart change to p2m-pt.c may not be necessary, since
UC- (which already gets enforced there) is probably strict enough.
Note that the shadow code changes include fixing the write protection
of r/o MMIO ranges: shadow_l1e_remove_flags() and its siblings, other
than l1e_remove_flags() and alike, return the new PTE (and hence
ignoring their return values makes them no-ops).
This is CVE-2016-2270 / XSA-154.

Most #DB exceptions are traps rather than faults, meaning that the instruction
pointer in the exception frame points after the instruction rather than at it.
However, VMX intercepts all have fault semantics, even when intercepting a
trap. Re-injecting an intercepted trap as a fault causes an infinite loop in
the guest, by re-executing the same trapping instruction repeatedly. This
breaks debugging inside the guest.
Introduce a helper which copies VM_EXIT_INTR_INTO to VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO, and
use it to mirror the intercepted interrupt back to the guest.

While INVLPG (and on SVM INVLPGA) don't fault on non-canonical
addresses, INVVPID fails (in the "individual address" case) when passed
such an address.
Since such intercepted INVLPG are effectively no-ops anyway, don't fix
this in vmx_invlpg_intercept(), but instead have paging_invlpg() never
return true in such a case.
This is CVE-2016-1571 / XSA-168.
