CVE-2013-2212 kernel: xen: Excessive time to disable caching with HVM guests with PCI passthrough
HVM guests are able to manipulate their physical address space such that
processing a subsequent request by that guest to disable caches takes an
extended amount of time changing the cachability of the memory pages assigned
to this guest. This applies only when the guest has been granted access to
some memory mapped I/O region (typically by way of assigning a passthrough
PCI device).
This can cause the CPU which processes the request to become unavailable,
possibly causing the hypervisor or a guest kernel (including the domain 0 one)
to halt itself ("panic").
A malicious domain, given access to a device with memory mapped I/O
regions, can cause the host to become unresponsive for a period o
