NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen package and not the xen package as distributed by Alpine.
Xen through 4.8.x does not validate memory allocations during certain P2M operations, which allows guest OS users to obtain privileged host OS access, aka XSA-222.
