      "value": "An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. A guest may access xenstore paths via absolute paths containing a full pathname, or via a relative path, which implicitly includes /local/domain/$DOMID for their own domain id. Management tools must access paths in guests' namespaces, necessarily using absolute paths. oxenstored imposes a pathname limit that is applied solely to the relative or absolute path specified by the client. Therefore, a guest can create paths in its own namespace which are too long for management tools to access. Depending on the toolstack in use, a malicious guest administrator might cause some management tools and debugging operations to fail. For example, a guest administrator can cause \"xenstore-ls -r\" to fail. However, a guest administrator cannot prevent the host administrator from tearing down the domain. All systems using oxenstored are vulnerable. Building and using oxenstored is the default in the upstream Xen distribution, if the Ocaml compiler is available. Systems using C xenstored are not vulnerable."

      "value": "Se detectó un problema en Xen versiones hasta 4.14.x. Un invitado puede acceder a las rutas de xenstore por medio de rutas absolutas que contienen un nombre de ruta completo, o por medio de una ruta relativa, que implícitamente incluye /local/ domain/$DOMID para su propio ID de dominio. Las herramientas de administración deben acceder a las rutas en los espacios de nombres de los invitados, necesariamente usando rutas absolutas. oxenstored impone un límite de nombre de ruta que es aplicado únicamente a la ruta relativa o absoluta especificada por el cliente. Por lo tanto, un invitado puede crear rutas en su propio espacio de nombre que son demasiado largas para que las herramientas de administración accedan. Dependiendo de la toolstack en uso, un administrador invitado malicioso puede causar que algunas herramientas de administración y operaciones de depuración presenten un fallo. Por ejemplo, un administrador invitado puede causar que \"xenstore-ls -r\" presente un fallo. Sin embargo, un administrador invitado no puede impedir que el administrador del host elimine el dominio. Todos los sistemas utilizados en oxenstored son vulnerables. La construcción y el uso de oxenstored es el valor predeterminado en la distribución Xen previa, si el compilador Ocaml está disponible. Los sistemas que usan C xenstored no son vulnerables"
