Xen vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Xen is made by Citrix. We track 9 published vulnerabilities in it, across 20 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. If you run Xen, keep it on a version the vendor still supports.

1 new flaw affects software Acme tracks
xend in Xen 3.0.3 does not properly limit the contents of the /local/domain xenstore directory tree, and does not properly restrict a guest VM's write access within this tree, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service and possibly have unspecified other impact by writing to (1) console/tty, (2) console/limit, or (3) image/device-model-pid. NOTE: this issue was originally reported as an issue in libvirt 0.3.3 and xenstore, but CVE is considering the core issue to be related to Xen.
