According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability in its node creation feature. In case a node has been created in a transaction and it is later deleted in the same transaction, the transaction will be terminated with an error. As this error is encountered only when handling the deleted node at transaction finalization, the transaction will have been performed partially and without updating the accounting information. This will enable a malicious guest to create arbitrary number of nodes.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
