NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen package and not the xen package as distributed by Alpine.

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x on the ARM platform allowing guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from DRAM after a reboot, because disjoint blocks, and physical addresses that do not start at zero, are mishandled.
