PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq with MAP_PIRQ_TYPE_GSI does not range check map->index. A malicious HVM guest kernel can crash the host. It might also be able to read hypervisor or guest memory. All Xen systems running HVM guests are vulnerable. PV guests are not vulnerable. Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank the Xen project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Matthew Daley as the original reporter.
Statement: Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of the kernel-xen package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This issue did not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG as we did not have support for Xen hypervisor.
