CVE-2021-27379
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
Se detectó un problema en Xen versiones hasta 4.11.x, permitiendo a usuarios del Sistema Operativo invitado x86 Intel HVM obtener acceso DMA de lectura y escritura no previsto y posiblemente causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo del Sistema Operativo host) o alcanzar privilegios. Esto ocurre porque un backport no se descargó y, por lo tanto, las actualizaciones de IOMMU no siempre fueron correctas. NOTA: este problema se presenta debido a una corrección incompleta para CVE-2020-15565
