CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for xen.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). GNTTABOP_swap_grant_ref in Xen 4.2 through 4.5 does not check the grant table operation version, which allows local guest domains to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a hypercall without a GNTTABOP_setup_table or GNTTABOP_set_version.
