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:16.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Xen through 4.8.x does not validate a vCPU array index upon the sending of an SGI, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash), aka XSA-225.
