CVE-2013-1964 [MEDIUM] CVE-2013-1964 xen: grant table hypercall acquire/release imbalance
CVE-2013-1964 xen: grant table hypercall acquire/release imbalance
When releasing a non-v1 non-transitive grant after doing a grant copy operation, Xen incorrectly recurses (as if for a transitive grant) and releases an unrelated grant reference.
A malicious guest administrator can cause undefined behaviour; depending on the dom0 kernel a host crash is possible, but information leakage or privilege escalation cannot be ruled out.
