Descriptions

xend in Xen 3.3.0 does not properly restrict a guest VM's write access within the /local/domain xenstore directory tree, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service and possibly have unspecified other impact by writing to (1) console/tty, (2) console/limit, or (3) image/device-model-pid. NOTE: this issue exists because of erroneous set_permissions calls in the fix for CVE-2008-4405.

xend en Xen 3.3.0 no restringe adecuadamente el acceso de escritura de una máquina virtual invitada en el árbol de directorios xenstore /local/domain, lo que permite a usuarios del sistema operativo visitantes provocar una denegación de servicio y posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado escribiendo en (1) console/tty, (2) console/limit, o (3) image/device-model-pid. NOTA: este problema existe debido a llamadas set_permissions erróneas en el parche para CVE-2008-4405.
