Last modified
CVE-2015-2151 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The x86 emulator in Xen 3.2.x through 4.5.x does not properly ignore segment overrides for instructions with register operands, which allows local guest users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.. EPSS estimates a 0.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
