NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen-libs package and not the xen-libs package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

When a transaction is committed, C Xenstored will first check the quota is correct before attempting to commit any nodes. It would be possible that accounting is temporarily negative if a node has been removed outside of the transaction.

Unfortunately, some versions of C Xenstored are assuming that the quota cannot be negative and are using assert() to confirm it. This will lead to C Xenstored crash when tools are built without -DNDEBUG (this is the default).
