Last modified

CVE-2013-0228 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The xen_iret function in arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S in the Linux kernel before 3.7.9 on 32-bit Xen paravirt_ops platforms does not properly handle an invalid value in the DS segment register, which allows guest OS users to gain guest OS privileges via a crafted application.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
