CVE-2014-8594
Last modified
CVE-2014-8594 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The do_mmu_update function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen 4.x through 4.4.x does not properly restrict updates to only PV page tables, which allows remote PV guests to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) by leveraging hardware emulation services for HVM guests using Hardware Assisted Paging (HAP).. EPSS estimates a 2.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
