Description

Xen 3.4 through 4.2, and possibly earlier versions, does not properly synchronize the p2m and m2p tables when the set_p2m_entry function fails, which allows local HVM guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and assertion failure), aka "Memory mapping failure DoS vulnerability."

NVD CVSS v2 Base Score: 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
