Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Xen (Virtualization Software) (affected version unknown). This vulnerability affects an unknown functionality of the component Xenstore Node Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a permission vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-275. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Xenstore: Guests can get access to Xenstore nodes of deleted domains Access rights of Xenstore nodes are per domid. When a domain is gone, there might be Xenstore nodes left with access rights containing the domid of the removed domain. This is normally no problem, as those access right entries will be corrected when such a node is written later. There is a small time window when a new domain is created, where the access rights of a past domain with the same domid as the new one will be regarded to be still valid, leading to the new domain being able to get access to a node which was meant to be accessible by the removed domain. For this to happen another domain needs to write the node before the newly created domain is being introduced to Xenstore by dom0.
