Description Eugene Teo (Security Response) 2011-07-05 01:22:26 UTC
Backport http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-3.1-testing.hg/rev/15644

The patched code would cause a hypervisor crash due to dereferencing a bogus address (in the first 4 MBs of address space, as EFLAGS bits above bit 21 are always 0, but more likely in the first page).
