Xen 4.x, when downgrading the grant table version, does not properly remove the status page from the tracking list when freeing the page, which allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash) via unspecified vectors.

CVE-2012-5510 kernel: xen: Grant table version switch list corruption vulnerability
Downgrading the grant table version of a guest involves freeing its
status pages. This freeing was incomplete - the page(s) are freed back
to the allocator, but not removed from the domain's tracking
list. This would cause list corruption, eventually leading to a
hypervisor crash.
A malicious guest administrator can cause Xen to crash, leading to a
denial of service attack.
