Descriptions
The grant-table feature in Xen through 4.8.x has a race condition leading to a double free, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), or possibly obtain sensitive information or gain privileges, aka XSA-218 bug 2.
La característica de tabla grant en Xen, hasta las versiones 4.8.x, incluye una condición de carrera que da lugar a una doble liberación (double free).

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Xen, the worst of which may allow local attackers to escalate privileges. Versions less than 4.7.3 are affected.
