MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Xen (affected versions not specified)
Description
x86 PV guests can free memory pages while maintaining a stale TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) entry pointing to them. A TLB flush is only issued by Xen when the page is re-used. Because a page can be scrubbed before the TLB flush occurs, a window exists where a PV guest can modify a page that has already been scrubbed.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
