CVE-2023-34323

MEDIUM

Xen < 4.17.0 - Denial of Service via Quota Assertion Failure

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

When a transaction is committed, C Xenstored will first check the quota is correct before attempting to commit any nodes. It would be possible that accounting is temporarily negative if a node has been removed outside of the transaction. Unfortunately, some versions of C Xenstored are assuming that the quota cannot be negative and are using assert() to confirm it. This will lead to C Xenstored crash when tools are built without -DNDEBUG (this is the default).
