NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen package and not the xen package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.20 relevant fixed versions and status.
insufficient TLB flush for x86 PV guests in shadow mode For migration as well as to work around kernels unaware of L1TF (see XSA-273), PV guests may be run in shadow paging mode. To address XSA-401, code was moved inside a function in Xen. This code movement missed a variable changing meaning / value between old and new code positions. The now wrong use of the variable did lead to a wrong TLB flush condition, omitting flushes where such are necessary.
