CVE-2013-1917
Last modified
CVE-2013-1917 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Xen 3.1 through 4.x, when running 64-bit hosts on Intel CPUs, does not clear the NT flag when using an IRET after a SYSENTER instruction, which allows PV guest users to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash) by triggering a #GP fault, which is not properly handled by another IRET instruction.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
