CVE-2020-15852 Information

Description

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.5 through 5.7.9 as used in Xen through 4.13.x for x86 PV guests. An attacker may be granted the I/O port permissions of an unrelated task. This occurs because tss_invalidate_io_bitmap mishandling causes a loss of synchronization between the I/O bitmaps of TSS and Xen aka CID-cadfad870154.
