Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
Some page table manipulation operations for PV guests were not made preemptible, allowing a malicious or buggy PV guest kernel to mount a denial of service attack affecting the whole system.
Due to missing source validation on interrupt remapping table entries for MSI interrupts set up by bridge devices, a malicious domain with access to such a device can mount a denial of service attack affecting the whole system.
When releasing a particular, non-transitive grant after doing a grant copy operation, Xen incorrectly releases an unrelated grant reference, leading possibly to a crash of the host system.
Furthermore information leakage or privilege escalation cannot be ruled out.

Some page table manipulation operations for PV guests were not made
