xen: A PV guest could DoS Xen while unmapping a grant (XSA-394)

Published Jan 25, 2022 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A PV guest could DoS Xen while unmapping a grant To address XSA-380, reference counting was introduced for grant mappings for the case where a PV guest would have the IOMMU enabled. PV guests can request two forms of mappings. When both are in use for any individual mapping, unmapping of such a mapping can be requested in two steps. The reference count for such a mapping would then mistakenly be decremented twice. Underflow of the counters gets detected, resulting in the triggering of a hypervisor bug check.
