CVE-2014-9065

Publication date 9 December 2014

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

common/spinlock.c in Xen 4.4.x and earlier does not properly handle read and write locks, which allows local x86 guest users to cause a denial of service (write denial or NMI watchdog timeout and host crash) via a large number of read requests, a different vulnerability to CVE-2014-9066.
