CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
Summary
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.
Affected Software

Weaknesses
Workarounds
Running only PV or PVH guests will avoid the vulnerability.
(Switching from a device model stub domain or a de-privileged device model to a fully privileged Dom0 device model does NOT mitigate this vulnerability. Rather, it simply recategorises the vulnerability to hostile management code, regarding it "as designed"; thus it merely reclassifies these issues as "not a bug". The security of a Xen system using stub domains is still better than with a qemu-dm running as a Dom0 process. Users and vendors of stub qemu dm systems should not change their configuration to use a Dom0 QEMU process.)
