CVE-2015-2752 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The XEN_DOMCTL_memory_mapping hypercall in Xen 3.2.x through 4.5.x, when using a PCI passthrough device, is not preemptible, which allows local x86 HVM domain users to cause a denial of service (host CPU consumption) via a crafted request to the device model (qemu-dm).. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
