NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen package and not the xen package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Xen through 4.8.x mishandles virtual interrupt injection, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash), aka XSA-223.
