Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or gain host OS privileges by leveraging an incorrect mask for reference-count overflow checking in shadow mode.

Se ha descubierto un problema en Xen hasta las versiones 4.9.x que permite que usuarios invitados del sistema operativo provoquen una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado del host del sistema operativo) u obtengan privilegios del host del sistema operativo aprovechando una comprobación de desbordamiento de máscara incorrecta para conteo de referencias en modo shadow.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Xen, the worst of which could allow for privilege escalation. Versions less than 4.9.1-r1 are affected.
