CVE-2009-3288

The sgbuildindirect function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in Linux kernel 2.6.28-rc1 through 2.6.31-rc8 uses an incorrect variable when accessing an array, which allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel OOPS and NULL pointer dereference, as demonstrated by using xcdroast to duplicate a CD...

libxl fails to honour readonly flag on disks with qemu-xen

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Callers of libxl can specify that a disk should be read-only to the guest. However, there is no code in libxl to pass this information to qemu-xen the upstream-based qemu; and indeed there is no way in qemu to make a disk read-only. The vulnerability is exploitable only via...
