CVE-2025-27465
Description
A flaw was found in Xen. Xen’s emulation of intercepted instructions uses replay mechanisms with executable stubs. Improper handling of exceptions raised during this replay process allows a local attacker to trigger unexpected behavior. This issue can occur when an instruction causes an exception during replay, potentially leading to a system crash. The vulnerability stems from a failure to handle exceptional conditions within the instruction replay logic.
