Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 5.2.3
Description
The issue is related to an uncontrolled resource consumption in the Linux kernel, specifically in the drivers/xen/balloon.c file. This can be exploited to cause a denial of service. The problem arises during the mapping of guest memory, allowing guest OS users to consume resources unrestrictedly.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.2.3, update to version 5.2.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
drivers/xen/balloon.c file or limiting the resources available to guest OS users to minimize the risk of exploitation.Correção
