Descriptions

Xenstore: Guests can crash xenstored via exhausting the stack Xenstored is using recursion for some Xenstore operations (e.g. for deleting a sub-tree of Xenstore nodes). With sufficiently deep nesting levels this can result in stack exhaustion on xenstored, leading to a crash of xenstored.

Xenstore: los invitados pueden bloquear xenstored al agotar la pila. Xenstored utiliza la recursividad para algunas operaciones de Xenstore (por ejemplo, para eliminar un subárbol de nodos de Xenstore). Con niveles de anidamiento suficientemente profundos, esto puede provocar el agotamiento de la pila en xenstored, lo que provocará un fallo de xenstored.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Xen, the worst of which can lead to arbitrary code execution. Versions greater than or equal to 4.16.6_pre1 are affected.
