## Description

The HVMOP\_set\_mem\_type control in Xen 4.1 through 4.4.x allows local guest
HVM administrators to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code by leveraging a separate qemu-dm
vulnerability to trigger invalid page table translations for unspecified
memory page types.
