According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by an issue allowing x86 Intel HVM guest OS users to achieve unintended read/write DMA access, and possibly cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or gain privileges. This occurs because a backport missed a flush, and thus IOMMU updates were not always correct. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-15565.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
