{"id":"ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597","details":"An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x. Grant copying code made an implication that any grant pin would be accompanied by a suitable page reference. Other portions of code, however, did not match up with that assumption. When such a grant copy operation is being done on a grant of a dying domain, the assumption turns out wrong. A malicious guest administrator can cause hypervisor memory corruption, most likely resulting in host crash and a Denial of Service. Privilege escalation and information leaks cannot be ruled out.","modified":"2026-06-15T18:18:05.982544724Z","published":"2017-10-30T14:29:00.847Z","upstream":["CVE-2017-15597"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2017-15597"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.10","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.11","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.12","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.13","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.14","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.15","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.16","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.17","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.18","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.19","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.20","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.21","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.22","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.23","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-15597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xen","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.24","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/xen?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.9.0-r7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific
