DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2021-26930, XSA-365: Bad error handing of blkback grant references.

The Xen blkback driver can incorrectly ignore errors when mapping grant
references, potentially reporting a false success, and causing unmapped
memory to be accessed. Hosting a malicious or buggy frontend driver
might result in a denial-of-service on the host.

Orabug: 32492113

* CVE-2021-26931, XSA-362: Mishandling of errors causes DoS of Xen backend.

Several error conditions in the scsi, block, and net Xen backend drivers
incorrectly cause kernel assertion failures. A malicious or buggy Xen
frontend might trigger these conditions, causing a denial-of-service in the
host.

Orabug: 32492105

* CVE-2021-26932, XSA-361: Denial-of-host-service by malicious Xen frontend.

Batched mapping operations can be potentially mishandled by the Linux
Xen backend, resulting in incorrectly reported success or failure of the
operation. Running a malicious or buggy frontend could result in a
denial-of-service on the host.

Orabug: 32492098

* Denial-of-service when retrieving receive flow hash indirection table on Broadcom NetXtreme-C/E interface.

A missing check when retrieving receive flow hash indirection table on a
Broadcom NetXtreme-C/E network interface which is down could lead to
NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause
a denial-of-service.
