These vulnerabilities affect all currently supported versions of Citrix XenServer up to and including version 6.0.2. The following issues have been addressed: • 64-bit PV guest to host privilege escalation vulnerability. This issue only impacts servers running on Intel processors and could permit a 64-bit PV guest to compromise the XenServer host (CVE-2012-0217). • Guest denial of service on syscall/sysenter exception generation. This issue could permit user code within a PV guest to crash the guest operating system (CVE-2012-0218). • Administrative connections to VM consoles through XAPI or XenCenter could be routed to the wrong VM. Mitigating Factors Customers that are using only Windows guests, which are never PV guests, are unaffected by the first two issues described above. Customers should refer to the XenServer product documentation for more information on the types of guests available. What Customers Should Do Hotfixes have been released to address these issues in all supported versions and update levels of Citrix XenServer. Citrix strongly recommends that customers using Citrix XenServer identify and apply the hotfixes that relate to their deployed versions: Citrix XenServer 6.0.2: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133166 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133174 Citrix XenServer 6.0.0: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133165 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133173 Citrix XenServer 5.6 Service Pack 2: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133175 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133172 Citrix XenServer 5.6 Feature Pack 1: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133176 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133171 Citrix XenServer 5.6: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133180 Citrix XenServer 5.5 Update 2: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133179 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133168 Citrix XenServer 5.0 Update 3: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133177 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133167 Customers using Citrix XenServer 5.6 in the Common Criteria evaluated configuration should apply the following hotfix: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133184 What Citrix Is Doing Citrix is notifying customers and channel partners about this potential security issue.
