CVE-2026-62433 Details
Description
Parts of the DM_OP handling code assumes the caller has provided the required number of buffers for the given operation without any checking being done. As a result, certain operations might access stack rubble as structures are possibly uninitialized.
A vulnerability exists in Xen hypervisor versions 4.10 and later, where the DM_OP handling code does not properly verify that the caller has supplied the necessary number of buffers for specific operations. This lack of validation can lead to certain operations accessing uninitialized stack data, potentially allowing a device model of a HVM guest to leak information from the Xen stack, including data from other guest contexts.
Applying the provided patch resolves this vulnerability. Note that this patch is intended for Xen 4.17.x and should be applied after updating to the tip of the stable branch. For systems using QEMU as a device model, avoid running it as a Dom0 process, as this does not mitigate the vulnerability.
