NVD Description

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

Guests can cause Xenstore crash via soft reset When a guest issues a "Soft Reset" (e.g. for performing a kexec) the libxl based Xen toolstack will normally perform a XS_RELEASE Xenstore operation. Due to a bug in xenstored this can result in a crash of xenstored. Any other use of XS_RELEASE will have the same impact.
