According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service and potential privilege escalation due to an insufficient cache write-back under VT-d. A malicious guest may be able to retain read/write DMA access to frames returned to Xen’s free pool, and later reused to access sensitive information pertaining to other guests to crash the host, resulting in a denial of service and privilege escalation.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
