CVE-2013-2212
http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-60.html
Excessive time to disable caching with HVM guests with PCI passthrough
HVM guests are able to manipulate their physical address space such that processing a subsequent request by that guest to disable caches takes an extended amount of time changing the cachability of the memory pages assigned to this guest. This applies only when the guest has been granted access to some memory mapped I/O region (typically by way of assigning a passthrough PCI device).
This can cause the CPU which processes the request to become unavailable, possibly causing the hypervisor or a guest kernel (including the domain 0 one) to halt itself (
panic).
long operation not preemptible
No
A malicious domain, given access to a device with memory mapped I/O regions, can cause the host to become unresponsive for a period of time, potentially leading to a DoS affecting the whole system.
