Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Xen (Virtualization Software) (unknown version) and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the component Xenstore Node Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

Xenstore: Cooperating guests can create arbitrary numbers of nodes T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Since the fix of XSA-322 any Xenstore node owned by a removed domain will be modified to be owned by Dom0. This will allow two malicious guests working together to create an arbitrary number of Xenstore nodes. This is possible by domain A letting domain B write into domain A's local Xenstore tree. Domain B can then create many nodes and reboot. The nodes created by domain B will now be owned by Dom0. By repeating this process over and over again an arbitrary number of nodes can be created, as Dom0's number of nodes isn't limited by Xenstore quota.

The weakness was published 11/01/2022. The advisory is available at xenbits.xen.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2022-42323 since 10/03/2022. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 211096 (Fedora 37 : xen (2022-9f51d13fa3)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem.
