Descriptions

The acceleration support for the "REP MOVS" instruction in Xen 4.4.x, 3.2.x, and earlier lacks properly bounds checking for memory mapped I/O (MMIO) emulated in the hypervisor, which allows local HVM guests to cause a denial of service (host crash) via unspecified vectors.

El soporte de aceleración para la instrucción 'REP MOVS' en Xen 4.4.x, 3.2.x, y anteriores falla en la comprobación correcta de los límites para entrada/salida del mapeado de memoria (memory mapped I/O, MMIO) emulado en el hipervisor, lo que permite a invitados HVM locales causar una denegación de servicio (caída del anfitrión) a través de vectores no especificados.

An insufficient bound checking flaw was found in the Xen hypervisor's implementation of acceleration support for the "REP MOVS" instructions. A privileged HVM guest user could potentially use this flaw to crash the host.
