Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x does not properly restrict access to PCI MSI mask bits, which allows local x86 HVM guest users to cause a denial of service (unexpected interrupt and host crash) via unspecified vectors.
