Descriptions

The compat_iret function in Xen 3.1 through 4.5 iterates the wrong way through a loop, which allows local 32-bit PV guest administrators to cause a denial of service (large loop and system hang) via a hypercall_iret call with EFLAGS.VM set.

La función compat_iret en Xen 3.1 hasta 4.5 itera en la dirección errónea a través de un bucle, lo que permite a administradores locales invitados de PV de 32 dits causar una denegación de servicio (bucle grande y cuelgue del sistema) a través de una llamada hypercall_iret con el juego EFLAGS.VM.
