CVE-2026-62433

correct buffer checks for DM_OP hypercalls

Published Jul 28, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Parts of the DM_OP handling code assumes the caller has provided the
required number of buffers for the given operation without any checking
being done. As a result, certain operations might access stack
rubble as structures are possibly uninitialized.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Running only PV or PVH guests will avoid the vulnerability. (Switching from a device model stub domain or a de-privileged device model to a fully privileged Dom0 device model does NOT mitigate this vulnerability. Rather, it simply recategorises the vulnerability to hostile management code, regarding it "as designed"; thus it merely reclassifies these issues as "not a bug". The security of a Xen system using stub domains is still better than with a qemu-dm running as a Dom0 process. Users and vendors of stub qemu dm systems should not change their configuration to use a Dom0 QEMU process.)
