A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Xen servers XENMEM_acquire_resource due to an error path exiting without releasing an RCU (Read, Copy, Update) reference. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this issue, via a malicious HVM stubdomain which can cause an RCU reference to be leaked, that leads to subsequent administration operations, (e.g. CPU offline) to livelock, resulting in a host DoS.
