Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2013:0496 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel update 2013-02-20 21:40:54 UTC

Description Petr Matousek 2013-01-16 14:18:09 UTC
A flaw was found in the way xen_failsafe_callback() handled failed iret,
which causes the stack pointer to be wrong when entering the
iret_exc error path. An unprivileged local guest user in the 32-bit PV
Xen domain could use this flaw to crash the guest.
