Detail

The do_block_io_op function in (1) drivers/xen/blkback/blkback.c and (2) drivers/xen/blktap/blktap.c in Xen before 3.4.0 for the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a large production request index to the blkback or blktap back-end drivers. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Id Description
70380 Linux Kernel Xen x do_block_io_op Function Production Request Index DoS

Linux Kernel Xen contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when the 'do_block_io_op function' in 'drivers/xen/blkback/blkback.c' and 'drivers/xen/blktap/blktap.c' allow a guest OS user to cause an infinite loop or CPU consumption denial of service via a large production request index to the blkback or blktap-back-end drivers.
