Descriptions

Xen 3.2.x through 4.6.x does not limit the number of printk console messages when logging certain pmu and profiling hypercalls, which allows local guests to cause a denial of service via a sequence of crafted (1) HYPERCALL_xenoprof_op hypercalls, which are not properly handled in the do_xenoprof_op function in common/xenoprof.c, or (2) HYPERVISOR_xenpmu_op hypercalls, which are not properly handled in the do_xenpmu_op function in arch/x86/cpu/vpmu.c.

Xen 3.2.x hasta la versión 4.6.x no limita el número de mensajes de la consola printk cuando incia sesión cierto pmu y hypercalls de perfilado, lo que permite a invitados locales provocar una denegación de servicio a través de una secuencia de hypercalls manipuladas (1) HYPERCALL_xenoprof_op, que no son manejadas adecuadamente en la función do_xenoprof_op en common/xenoprof.c o (2) HYPERVISOR_xenpmu_op, que no son manejadas adecuadamente en la función do_xenpmu_op en arch/x86/cpu/vpmu.c.
