Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash) or possibly gain privileges because self-linear shadow mappings are mishandled for translated guests.

Se ha descubierto un problema en Xen hasta las versiones 4.9.x que permite que usuarios invitados del sistema operativo x86 HMV provoquen una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado del hipervisor) o que puedan obtener privilegios debido a que se gestiona de manera incorrecta los mapeados autolineares de shadow para los invitados traducidos.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor, which could result in denial of service, information leaks, privilege escalation or the execution of arbitrary code.
