According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability. Recording of the per-vCPU control block mapping maintained by Xen and that of pointers into the control block is reversed. The consumer assumes, seeing the former initialized, that the latter are also ready for use. Malicious or buggy guest kernels can mount a Denial of Service (DoS) attack affecting the entire system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
