Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2011-10-08 15:45:15 UTC
CVE-2011-1583 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-1583):
  Multiple integer overflows in tools/libxc/xc_dom_bzimageloader.c in Xen 3.2,
  3.3, 4.0, and 4.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service and
  possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted paravirtualised guest kernel
  image that triggers (1) a buffer overflow during a decompression loop or (2)
  an out-of-bounds read in the loader involving unspecified length fields.


Despite the CVE text, a patch for 3.4 can be found in the references.

Please check if our latest stable 3.4 version is still affected by this and provide an updated ebuild. Also, for the future 4.1 stable, please check if that is affected too.

  tools/libxc/xc_dom_bzimageloader.c in Xen 3.2, 3.3, 4.0, and 4.1 allows

  and management domain resource consumption) via unspecified vectors related
  to "Lack of error checking in the decompression loop."

Comment 4 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-09 12:38:11 UTC
Oh, forgot to mention, the patch is not required for xen-4.
The content is already in the source.
All done
