DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in Xen, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users in a guest virtual machine to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service).

The weakness is caused due to Xen not properly restricting bogus DMA
requests to PCI/PCIE devices under direct control by the virtual
machine, which can be exploited to cause IOMMU faults and a high CPU
load or deadlock.

For more information:
SA45622

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the Mercurial repository.
