CVE-2010-3699

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Xen versions 3.x

Description The issue allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service via a kernel thread leak. This leak can prevent the device and guest OS from being shut down, create a zombie domain, cause a hang in zenwatch, or prevent unspecified xm commands from working properly. It is related to the netback, blkback, or blktap components.

Recommendations For Xen version 3.x, consider applying a patch to fix the kernel thread leak issue in the netback, blkback, or blktap components to prevent denial of service attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the affected components to minimize the risk of exploitation.
