Subject: Re: CVE Request: XEN local denial of service
More specific information on Xen's affected versions would be appreciated.
I made a guess based on the version that was released a few days after the
patch.

Reference: MLIST:[Xen-devel] 20090513 [PATCH] linux/i386: hypervisor_callback adjustments

Reference: MLIST:[oss-security] 20090514 CVE Request: XEN local denial of service
Reference: URL:http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2009/05/14/2
The hypervisor_callback function in Xen, possibly before 3.4.0, as
applied to the Linux kernel 2.6.30-rc4, 2.6.18, and probably other
versions allows guest user applications to cause a denial of service
(kernel oops) of the guest OS by triggering a segmentation fault in
"certain address ranges."
