ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Virtual interrupt injection could be triggered by a guest when sending an SGI (e.g IPI) to any vCPU or by configuring timers. When the virtual interrupt is masked, a missing check in the injection path may result in reading invalid hardware register or crashing the host.
IMPACT
A guest may cause a hypervisor crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
VULNERABLE SYSTEMS
All Xen versions which support ARM are affected.
x86 systems are not affected.
