MediumMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Xen (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue arises from a mismatch in the IOMMU quarantine page table levels. On systems with no RAM above the 512GB mark, only 3 page-table levels are configured in the IOMMU, while the quarantine domain is initialized with 4 page table levels. This results in a device in quarantine mode gaining write access to the page destined to be a PDE, potentially leading to data leaks. The sink page the device gets read/write access to is no longer cleared between device assignment.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
