Xen Security Advisory CVE-2022-23816,CVE-2022-23825,CVE-2022-29900 / XSA-407
Retbleed - arbitrary speculative code execution with return instructions
ISSUE DESCRIPTION
=================
Researchers at ETH Zurich have discovered Retbleed, allowing for
arbitrary speculative execution in a victim context.
For more details, see:
https://comsec.ethz.ch/retbleed
ETH Zurich have allocated CVE-2022-29900 for AMD and CVE-2022-29901 for
Intel.
Despite the similar preconditions, these are very different
microarchitectural behaviours between vendors.
On AMD CPUs, Retbleed is one specific instance of a more general
microarchitectural behaviour called Branch Type Confusion. AMD have
assigned CVE-2022-23816 (Retbleed) and CVE-2022-23825 (Branch Type
Confusion).
For more details, see:
https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-1037
On Intel CPUs, Retbleed is not a new vulnerability; it is only
applicable to software which did not follow Intel's original Spectre-v2
guidance. Intel are using the ETH Zurich allocated CVE-2022-29901.
For more details, see:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00702.html
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/software-security-guidance/advisory-guidance/return-stack-buffer-underflow.html
ARM have indicated existing guidance on Spectre-v2 is sufficient.
IMPACT
======
An attacker might be able to infer the contents of arbitrary host
memory, including memory assigned to other guests.
VULNERABLE SYSTEMS
==================
Systems running all versions of Xen are affected.
Whether a CPU is potentially vulnerable depends on its
microarchitecture. Consult your hardware vendor.
For ARM and Intel CPUs, Xen implemented the vendor-recommended defaults
in XSA-254 and follow-on fixes. Therefore, the Xen Security Team
believes there are no further changes necessary on these CPUs.
Administrators who deviated from the default mitigations are potentially
affected and should re-evaluate their threat model.
For AMD, CPUs from the Zen2 microarchitecture and earlier are
potentially vulnerable. Zen3 and later CPUs are not believed to be
vulnerable.
The patches for Xen implement the IBPB-at-entry mitigation. This
depends on the IBPB microcode distributed by AMD in 2018 as part of the
original Spectre/Meltdown work. Consult your dom0 OS vendor.
In addition to IBPB, "cross thread" safety is necessary. On Zen2 CPUs,
Xen uses STIBP by default. On Zen1 CPUs, SMT needs disabling either in
the firmware, or by passing `smt=0` on Xen's command line. On Fam15h
CPUs, Cluster Multi-Threading needs disabling in firmware.
Due to performance concerns, dom0 is excluded from IBPB-on-entry
protections by default. This is because PV dom0 is trusted in most
deployments. If your threat model model doesn't allow for dom0 to be
treated specially, boot with `spec-ctrl=ibpb-entry` which will cause
IBPB-on-entry protections to be applied to dom0 too.
MITIGATION
==========
There are no mitigations.
RESOLUTION
==========
Applying the appropriate attached patch resolves this issue.
Note that patches for released versions are generally prepared to
apply to the stable branches, and may not apply cleanly to the most
recent release tarball. Downstreams are encouraged to update to the
tip of the stable branch before applying these patches.
For the 4.15 and 4.16 branches in particular, these patches depend on:
- x86/spec-ctrl: Only adjust MSR_SPEC_CTRL for idle with legacy IBRS
- x86/spec-ctrl: Knobs for STIBP and PSFD, and follow hardware STIBP hint
- xen/cmdline: Extend parse_boolean() to signal a name match
- x86/spec-ctrl: Add fine-grained cmdline suboptions for primitives
which have been recently backported.
