Description Petr Matousek 2013-05-17 16:43:09 UTC
On AMD processors supporting XSAVE/XRSTOR (family 15h and up), when an exception is pending, these instructions save/restore only the FOP, FIP, and FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE/FXRSTOR. This allows one domain to determine portions of the state of floating point instructions of other domains.

A malicious domain may be able to leverage this to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys from another domain.

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank the Xen project for reporting this issue.

Comment 3 Petr Matousek 2013-05-17 16:46:17 UTC
Statement:

Not vulnerable.

This issue did not affect the versions of the kernel-xen package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This issue did not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG as we did not have support for Xen hypervisor.
