Original Xen Security Advisory #55v4 (8.39 KB, text/plain)
2013-06-14 17:00 UTC, Petr Matousek
no flags Details

Description Petr Matousek 2013-06-04 13:30:13 UTC
The ELF parser used by the Xen tools to read domains' kernels and
construct domains has multiple integer overflows, pointer dereferences
based on calculations from unchecked input values, and other problems.

A malicious PV domain administrator who can specify their own kernel
can escalate their privilege to that of the domain construction tools
(i.e., normally, to control of the host).
