The version of Citrix XenServer running on the remote host is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :
An infinite loop condition exists in the KVM subsystem that is triggered when handling a stream of #AC (Alignment Check) exceptions. A local attacker within a virtualized guest can exploit this to cause a host OS panic or hang, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-5307)
An infinite loop condition exists in the KVM subsystem that is triggered when handling a stream of #DB (Debug) exceptions. A local attacker within a virtualized guest can exploit this to cause a host OS panic or hang, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2015-8104)
