CVE-2013-0151
Last modified
CVE-2013-0151 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The do_hvm_op function in xen/arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in Xen 4.2.x on the x86_32 platform does not prevent HVM_PARAM_NESTEDHVM (aka nested virtualization) operations, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (long-duration page mappings and host OS crash) by leveraging administrative access to an HVM guest in a domain with a large number of VCPUs.. EPSS estimates a 0.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
