Citrix XenServer Multiple Vulnerabilities (CTX224740)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 101205

Synopsis

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

Description

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

- A flaw exists that causes grant table operations to fail due to improper handling of reference counts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to blkif responses leaking stack data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information.

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the event channel poll that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.

- A flaw exists in shadow emulation due to insufficient reference counts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.

- A race condition exists in the grant table unmap code that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an unspecified impact.

- An unspecified flaw exists in page transfers that allows a local attacker on the PV guest to gain elevated privileges.

- A flaw exists that is triggered by stale P2M mappings due to insufficient error checking. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.

Solution

Apply the appropriate hotfix according to the vendor advisory.
