Xen xenstored watch DoS (XSA-324)

2021-01-0500:00:00

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to an issue with max payload length in xenstored. A malicious guest can exploit this, by registering a ‘watch’ with using a very large tag, to cause an error condition in xenstored. This error can result in a NULL pointer dereference, which can crash xenstored.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
