Descriptions

The paging_invlpg function in include/asm-x86/paging.h in Xen 3.3.x through 4.6.x, when using shadow mode paging or nested virtualization is enabled, allows local HVM guest users to cause a denial of service (host crash) via a non-canonical guest address in an INVVPID instruction, which triggers a hypervisor bug check.

La función paging_invlpg en include/asm-x86/paging.h en Xen 3.3.x hasta la versión 4.6.x, cuando se utiliza paginación en modo shadow o la virtualización anidada está habilitada, permite a usuarios HVM invitados locales provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de host) a través de una dirección de invitado no canónica en una instrucción INVVPID, lo que desencadena una comprobación de errores de hipervisor.

An update that fixes 33 vulnerabilities is now available. Xen was updated to version 4.4.4 to fix 33 security issues. These security issues were fixed.
