Descriptions

The shadow-paging feature in Xen through 4.8.x mismanages page references and consequently introduces a race condition, which allows guest OS users to obtain Xen privileges, aka XSA-219.

La característica de shadow-paging en Xen, hasta las versiones 4.8.x, gestiona de manera incorrecta referencias de páginas y, en consecuencia, introduce una condición de carrera, lo que permite que los usuarios invitados del sistema operativo obtengan privilegios Xen. Esto también se conoce como XSA-219.

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.
