According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability in the IOMMU that fails to strip tables in shared page table mode. The vulnerability only affects x86 Intel systems. A local, authorized attacker could use this vulnerability to escalate from guest to host privilages.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
