Descriptions

Xen 4.4.x and earlier, when using a large number of VCPUs, does not properly handle read and write locks, which allows local x86 guest users to cause a denial of service (write denial or NMI watchdog timeout and host crash) via a large number of read requests, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9065.

Xen 4.4.x y versiones anteriores, cuando utiliza un gran número de VCPUs, no maneja adecuadamente los bloqueos de lectura y escritura, lo que permite a usuarios invitados x86 locales causar una denegación de servicio (denegación de escritura o tiempo de espera agotado del watchdog NMI y caida de host) a través de un gran número de peticiones de lectura, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2014-9065.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Xen, the worst of which can allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition. Versions less than 4.4.2-r1 are affected.
