CVE-2012-6031
Description
From CVE.org
The do_tmem_get function in the Transcendent Memory (TMEM) in Xen 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 allow local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (CPU hang and host crash) via unspecified vectors related to a spinlock being held in the "bad_copy error path." NOTE: this issue was originally published as part of CVE-2012-3497, which was too general; CVE-2012-3497 has been SPLIT into this ID and others.
Statement
Not vulnerable.
This issue did not affect the versions of the kernel-xen package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 because we did not support TMEM (Transcendent Memory).
This issue did not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG as we did not have support for Xen hypervisor.
