Upstream information

CVE-2013-4356 at MITRE

Description

Xen 4.3.x writes hypervisor mappings to certain shadow pagetables when live migration is performed on hosts with more than 5TB of RAM, which allows local 64-bit PV guests to read or write to invalid memory and cause a denial of service (crash).

SUSE information

Note from the SUSE Security Team on the xen package

This issue likely only affects the XEN hypervisor itself, unless otherwise stated. The userland utilities in -tools and libraries in -libs are shipped together with the xen hypervisor as they are built from one source and do not contain hypervisor specific fixes.

SUSE Bugzilla entry: 840593 [RESOLVED / FIXED]
