[REJECTED CVE] A vulnerability was identified in the Linux kernel’s Xen ARM implementation, where a race condition in RB-tree-based P2M (physical-to-machine) accounting could occur due to an unprotected read of the tree root in __set_phys_to_machine_multi(). An attacker could theoretically exploit this by triggering concurrent grant table operations (via gnttab_map_refs() and gnttab_unmap_refs()) that lead to incorrect or inconsistent memory mappings, potentially causing memory corruption or denial of service. However, due to the extremely rare occurrence and limited impact in real-world use
