Xenstore: a malicious guest can cause xenstored to use a wrong pointer during node creation in an error path, resulting in a crash of xenstored or a memory corruption in xenstored causing further damage. Entering the error path can be controlled by the guest e.g. by exceeding the quota value of maximum nodes per domain.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
