Citrix XenServer Multiple Vulnerabilities (CTX223291)

high Nessus Plugin ID 100104

Language:

Synopsis

A server virtualization platform installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Citrix XenServer running on the remote host is missing a security hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when handling grant transfers. An attacker in a guest virtual machine can exploit this to gain elevated privileges on the host.

 - A memory corruption issue exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling failsafe callbacks. An attacker in a guest virtual machine can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host.

 - An unspecified flaw exists when handling use-after-mode-change pagetables. An attacker in a guest virtual machine can exploit this to gain elevated privileges on the host.

Solution

Apply the appropriate hotfix according to the vendor advisory.
