xen: arbitrary code execution
| Package(s): | xen |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2011-1583
|
| Created: | May 9, 2011 |
Updated: | November 7, 2011 |
| Description: |
From the Red Hat advisory:
It was found that the xc_try_bzip2_decode() and xc_try_lzma_decode() decode
routines did not correctly check for a possible buffer size overflow in the
decoding loop. As well, several integer overflow flaws and missing
error/range checking were found that could lead to an infinite loop. A
privileged guest user could use these flaws to crash the guest or,
possibly, execute arbitrary code in the privileged management domain
(Dom0). |
