CVE-2024-31146  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:14 xen to version 4.19.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen package and not the xen package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

When multiple devices share resources and one of them is to be passed through to a guest, security of the entire system and of respective guests individually cannot really be guaranteed without knowing internals of any of the involved guests. Therefore such a configuration cannot really be security-supported, yet making that explicit was so far missing.

Resources the sharing of which is known to be problematic include, but are not limited to

    • PCI Base Address Registers (BARs) of multiple devices mapping to the same page (4k on x86),
    • INTx lines.
