What is CVE-2012-3495?

The physdev_get_free_pirq hypercall in Xen 4.1.x and Citrix XenServer versions earlier than 6.0.3 has a flaw where the return value from the get_free_pirq function is used as an array index without the appropriate error checks. This oversight could enable a malicious guest operating system user to cause a denial of service by writing to invalid memory locations, potentially leading to a host crash. In certain circumstances, this vulnerability might also allow attackers to escalate their privileges through various unspecified vectors, posing a significant risk to system security.
