The version of Citrix Hypervisor (formerly Citrix XenServer) running on the remote host is missing a security hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- A local attacker with the ability to execute privileged mode code in a guest machine can perform a denial of service
attack against the host causing the host to crash or become unresponsive. Please refer to the vendor advisory for
mitigating factors. (CVE-2021-28038)
- A vulnerability was found in openvswitch. A limitation in the implementation of userspace packet parsing can allow a
malicious user to send a specially crafted packet causing the resulting megaflow in the kernel to be too wide,
potentially causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
