CVE-2013-4553

Publication date 24 December 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The XEN_DOMCTL_getmemlist hypercall in Xen 3.4.x through 4.3.x (possibly 4.3.1) does not always obtain the page_alloc_lock and mm_rwlock in the same order, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (host deadlock).
