Descriptions

The backend driver in Xen 3.x allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service via a kernel thread leak, which prevents the device and guest OS from being shut down or create a zombie domain, causes a hang in zenwatch, or prevents unspecified xm commands from working properly, related to (1) netback, (2) blkback, or (3) blktap.

El driver backend en Xen v3.x permite a usuarios del OS causar una denegación de servicio a través de una fuga en el hilo del kernel, lo que evita que el dispositivo y el invitado OS sean apagados o se cree un dominio zombie, causando una caída en zenwatch, o impida que comandos sin especificar xm trabajen de forma adecuada, relacionado con (1) netback, (2) blkback, o (3) blktap.
