Descriptions

The hvm_msr_read_intercept function in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in Xen 4.1 through 4.4.x uses an improper MSR range for x2APIC emulation, which allows local HVM guests to cause a denial of service (host crash) or read data from the hypervisor or other guests via unspecified vectors.

La función hvm_msr_read_intercept en arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c en Xen 4.1 hasta 4.4.x utiliza un rango MSR indebido para la emulación x2APIC, lo que permite a huéspedes HVM locales causar una denegación de servicio (caída del anfitrión) o leer datos del hipervisor o otros huéspedes a través de vectores no especificados.

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