HVMI is a complex piece of software, and like any other software, we cannot exclude the existence of potential security issues. In this regard, we advise researchers to follow responsible disclosure and notify us before publicly disclosing any security issue, to give us the opportunity to fix it in any product that integrates the HVMI technology.
Identified security issues must be properly described, and steps of reproduction must be provided. Proof of concepts are strongly encouraged, but not strictly required, as long as the reproduction steps are clear, and we are able to reproduce the issue. Please make sure to include the following:
- Brief description of the problem
- The host hardware used (CPU type, installed memory, any other relevant info)
- The used Hypervisor (Xen, KVM, etc.)
- The affected operating system (type, version, architecture, version string, any other relevant info)
- The VM configuration, if the issue requires a VM to be reproduced (CPU topology, number of cores, RAM amount)
- Steps of reproduction
- Core dumps, memory dumps and any other useful information that can be used to triage and fix the issue
- Impact
For example, the following template could be used:
Brief description
Crash in libintrocore when loading malicious.dll inside opera.exe
Host hardware
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6254 CPU @ 3.10GHz, 72 cores
RAM: 766 GB
Hypervisor
Xen 4.12
Affected operating system
Windows 10 RS4 and Windows 10 RS5, 64 bit only
VM configuration
N/A (the bug reproduces no matter what configuration the VM has)
Steps of reproduction
1. Create a library named malicious.dll
2. Inject the library inside opera.exe
3. The libintrocore library crashes with a SEGFAULT
Impact
The issue easily leads to DoS, but it may be abused to create a RCE inside libintrocore.
Attached is the libintrocore core dump and a malicious.dll sample.
