Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the Python bindings for the xc_vcpu_setaffinity call in Xen 4.0.x, 4.1.x, and 4.2.x allows local administrators with permissions to configure VCPU affinity to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and xend toolstack crash) and possibly gain privileges via a crafted cpumap.

Desbordamiento de búfer en los enlaces de Python para la llamada xc_vcpu_setaffinity en Xen v4.0.x, v4.1.x, y v4.2.x permite a los administradores locales con permisos, configurar la afinidad de VCPU para causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de "xend toolstack") y, posiblemente, obtener privilegios a través de un "cpumap" manipulado.

Multiple security issues have been discovered in the Xen virtualisation solution which may result in denial of service, information disclosure or privilege escalation.
