xen is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists as it was discovered that the hypervisor’s para-virtualized framebuffer (PVFB) backend failed to validate the frontend’s framebuffer description properly. This could allow a privileged user in the unprivileged domain (DomU) to cause a denial of service, or, possibly, elevate privileges to the privileged domain (Dom0).
