  - The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when handling negative quota values in C Xenstored.
    A malicious guest can craft a transaction that forces C Xenstored to check quota value and perform a     denial of service attack. (CVE-2023-34323)

  - The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in libfsimage. A remote     guest can use pygrab to trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the host system     (CVE-2023-34325)

  - The vulnerability exists due to missing IOMMU TLB flushing on x86/AMD systems. A malicious guest can     access memory not owned by the guest and escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-34326)

  - The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of guest state when using Debug Masks in HVM vCPU. A     malicious guest can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack against the guest OS. (CVE-2023-34327)

The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-881672fdab advisory.

  - When a transaction is committed, C Xenstored will first check the quota is correct before attempting to     commit any nodes. It would be possible that accounting is temporarily negative if a node has been removed     outside of the transaction. Unfortunately, some versions of C Xenstored are assuming that the quota cannot     be negative and are using assert() to confirm it. This will lead to C Xenstored crash when tools are built     without -DNDEBUG (this is the default). (CVE-2023-34323)

AMD CPUs since ~2014 have extensions to normal x86 debugging functionality. Xen supports guests using these extensions.

Unfortunately there are errors in Xen's handling of the guest state, leading to denials of service.

  - CVE-2023-34327 - An HVM vCPU can end up operating in the context of     a previous vCPUs debug mask state.

  - CVE-2023-34328 - A PV vCPU can place a breakpoint over the live GDT.
    This allows the PV vCPU to exploit XSA-156 / CVE-2015-8104 and lock     up the CPU entirely.

For CVE-2023-34327, any guest (PV or HVM) using Debug Masks normally for it's own purposes can cause incorrect behaviour in an unrelated HVM vCPU, most likely resulting in a guest crash.

For CVE-2023-34328, a buggy or malicious PV guest kernel can lock up the host.
