How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 xen-tools to version 4.13.5_14-150200.3.96.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen-tools package and not the xen-tools package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 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.
