Detail

The fixup_page_fault function in arch/x86/traps.c in Xen 4.0.1 and earlier on 64-bit platforms, when paravirtualization is enabled, does not verify that kernel mode is used to call the handle_gdt_ldt_mapping_fault function, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS BUG_ON) via a crafted memory access.

Id Description
69613 Xen xen/arch/x86/traps.c fixup_page_fault() Function Local DoS

Xen contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when insufficient restriction checks within the 'fixup_page_fault()' function in 'xen/arch/x86/traps.c' are exploited from a guest system to trigger a 'BUG_ON()', which will result in loss of availability.
