Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service (unbounded recursion, stack consumption, and hypervisor crash) or possibly gain privileges via crafted page-table stacking.

Se ha descubierto un problema en Xen hasta las versiones 4.9.x que permite que usuarios invitados del sistema operativo x86 PV provoquen una denegación de servicio (recursión infinita consumo de pila y cierre inesperado del hipervisor) o que puedan obtener privilegios mediante el apilamiento manipulado de tablas de paginación.

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.
