CVE-2013-1917

Xen 3.1 through 4.x, when running 64-bit hosts on Intel CPUs, does not clear the NT flag when using an IRET after a SYSENTER instruction, which allows PV guest users to cause a denial of service hypervisor crash by triggering a GP fault, which is not properly handled by another IRET instruction...

Xen PV DoS vulnerability with SYSENTER

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The SYSENTER instruction can be used by PV guests to accelerate system call processing. This instruction, however, leaves the EFLAGS register mostly unmodified - in particular, the NT flag doesn't get cleared. If the hypervisor subsequently uses IRET to return to the guest which...
