Descriptions
Xen, when used on a system providing PV backends, allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or gain privileges by writing to memory shared between the frontend and backend, aka a double fetch vulnerability.
Xen, cuando se utiliza en un sistema que proporciona backends PV, permite a administradores locales del SO invitado causar una denegación de servicio (caída de SO anfitrión) o la obtención de privilegios escribiendo en la memoria compartida por el frontend y el backend, también conocida como una vulnerabilidad de doble recuperación.
Felix Wilhelm discovered a race condition in the Xen paravirtualized drivers which can cause double fetch vulnerabilities. An attacker in the paravirtualized guest could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash the host) or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host. Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk discovered the Xen PCI backend driver does not perform sanity checks on the device's state. An attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference) on the host. Various other issues were also addressed.
