UnknownEPSS 0.45%

Last modified

CVE-2015-2756 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. QEMU, as used in Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x, does not properly restrict access to PCI command registers, which might allow local HVM guest users to cause a denial of service (non-maskable interrupt and host crash) by disabling the (1) memory or (2) I/O decoding for a PCI Express device and then accessing the device, which triggers an Unsupported Request (UR) response.. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
