Descriptions
Qemu, as used in Xen 4.0, 4.1 and possibly other products, when emulating certain devices with a virtual console backend, allows local OS guest users to gain privileges via a crafted escape VT100 sequence that triggers the overwrite of a "device model's address space."
Qemu, tal como se utiliza en Xen v4.0, v4.1 y posiblemente otros productos, al emular ciertos dispositivos con una consola virtual, permite a los usuarios locales del SO invitado obtener privilegios a través de una secuencia VT100 de escape manipulada que desencadena la sobrescritura del espacio de direcciones de un "device model's address space."
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Xen, allowing attackers on a Xen Virtual Machine to execute arbitrary code, cause Denial of Service, or gain access to data on the host. Versions less than 4.2.2-r1 are affected.
