Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor packages which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2007-4993 By use of a specially crafted grub configuration file a domU user may be able to execute arbitrary code upon the dom0 when pygrub is being used.
CVE-2007-1320 Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the Cirrus VGA extension, provided by QEMU, may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via ‘bitblt’ heap overflow.
