Descriptions

The XEN_DOMCTL_getmemlist hypercall in Xen 3.4.x through 4.3.x (possibly 4.3.1) does not always obtain the page_alloc_lock and mm_rwlock in the same order, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (host deadlock).

La hypercall XEN_DOMCTL_getmemlist en Xen 3.4.x a 4.3.x (posiblemente 4.3.1) no obtiene siempre los bloqueos page_alloc_lock y mm_rwlock en el mismo orden, lo cual permite a administradores locales invitados causar denegación de servicio (bloqueo del host).

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Xen, the worst of which could lead to arbitrary code execution. Versions less than 4.3.2-r4 are affected.
