CVE-2013-4553  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:13.04 xen to version 4.2.2-0ubuntu0.13.04.3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen package and not the xen package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:13.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The XEN_DOMCTL_getmemlist hypercall in Xen 3.4.x through 4.3.x (possibly 4.3.1) does not always obtain the page_alloc_lock and mm_rwlock in the same order, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (host deadlock).
