CVE-2026-42487

HVM guest I/O port accesses are subject to either emulation or at least translation. Translations are managed by the device model via XENDOMCTLioportmapping, and hence the linked list used may changed at any time. Traversal of those lists while handling guest I/O port accesses therefore needs...
