CVE-2012-6033
Description
From CVE.org
The do_tmem_control function in the Transcendent Memory (TMEM) in Xen 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 does not properly check privileges, which allows local guest OS users to access control stack operations via unspecified vectors. 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.
