Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Xen (Virtualization Software) (the affected version is unknown). Affected is an unknown code of the component Lock Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

lock order inversion in transitive grant copy handling As part of XSA-226 a missing cleanup call was inserted on an error handling path. While doing so, locking requirements were not paid attention to. As a result two cooperating guests granting each other transitive grants can cause locks to be acquired nested within one another, but in respectively opposite order. With suitable timing between the involved grant copy operations this may result in the locking up of a CPU.

The weakness was presented 10/11/2022. The advisory is available at xenbits.xenproject.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2022-33748 since 06/15/2022. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
