VCPU/timers: Prevent overflow in calculations, leading to DoS vulnerability
|
||
|
|
||
|
The timer action for a vcpu periodic timer is to calculate the next
|
||
|
expiry time, and to reinsert itself into the timer queue. If the
|
||
|
deadline ends up in the past, Xen never leaves __do_softirq(). The
|
||
|
affected PCPU will stay in an infinite loop until Xen is killed by the
|
||
|
watchdog (if enabled).
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a security problem, XSA-20 / CVE-2012-4535.
