Last modified

CVE-2015-8341 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The libxl toolstack library in Xen 4.1.x through 4.6.x does not properly release mappings of files used as kernels and initial ramdisks when managing multiple domains in the same process, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and disk consumption) by starting domains.. EPSS estimates a 2.04% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
