[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/4] XSA-39 CVE-2013-021[67]: Linux netback DoS via malicious guest ring.

[Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Xen netback implementation contains a couple of flaws which can
allow a guest to cause a DoS in the backend domain, potentially
affecting other domains in the system.

CVE-2013-0216 is a failure to sanity check the ring producer/consumer
pointers which can allow a guest to cause netback to loop for an
extended period preventing other work from occurring.

CVE-2013-0217 is a memory leak on an error path which is guest
triggerable.

The following series contains the fixes for these issues, as previously
included in Xen Security Advisory 39:
