CVE-2025-58144
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk38th percentile - higher than 38% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in the Xen hypervisor related to mapping pages belonging to other domains. An incorrect assertion in a case that actually needs handling could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on a release build.
Risk Assessment
It may cause a hypervisor crash or destabilize the virtualization environment. Affects availability of virtual machines and infrastructure.
Recommendation
Update Xen to a patched version. Monitor system stability and follow vendor recommendations.
Other vulnerabilities in Xen
See all- CVE-2026-62436Medium
When switching from Grant Table v2 to v1 in Xen, code holding the grant table lock but temporarily dropping and re-acquiring it wrongly assumes that table properties won't change during the window without the lock. This leads to issues with status frames that disappear when switching from v2 to v1.
- CVE-2026-62435Medium
When switching from Grant Table v1 to v2 in Xen, code holding the grant table lock but temporarily dropping and re-acquiring it wrongly assumes that table properties won't change during the window without the lock. This leads to a reduction in the number of valid grant references.
- CVE-2026-62434Medium
A guest with Populated on Demand (PoD) enabled may attempt to reclaim pages that are not regular guest RAM. This can cause corruption of memory management state in Xen.
- CVE-2026-62432High
The EVTCHNOP_expand_array hypercall checks for FIFO event channels being enabled, but without holding the correct lock. It can race with EVTCHNOP_reset, resulting in dereferencing a NULL pointer.
- CVE-2026-62431High
The logic to handle periodic Viridian STIMERs performs a division with an unchecked user-controlled divisor value, that can be set to zero to cause a #DE fault.
- CVE-2026-62430High
Accesses to CMOS memory contents are done using an indirect IO port pair. Xen needs to cache the guest chosen index, and one of the usages of the index didn't take the necessary locking to avoid concurrent changes, allowing a guest to change the index after it being checked, causing an out-of-bound read access.
- CVE-2026-62429Medium
Accessing vNUMA configuration data of a guest is still possible when domain destruction has already started. The cleanup of that configuration information is not synchronized with its retrieval by a device model controlling the guest.
- CVE-2026-62428High
When grant-copy operations are processed, permission checks may be carried out on a page different from the one involved in the copy when the grant is already pinned, leading to inconsistency.
- CVE-2026-62427High
Platform-op operations use a system-wide lock, but the lock acquisition lacks fairness, and with XSM/Flask enabled, the lock is acquired before permission checks. This is the platform-op issue.
- CVE-2026-62426High
Sysctl operations use a system-wide lock, but the lock acquisition lacks fairness, and with XSM/Flask enabled, the lock is acquired before permission checks. This is the sysctl issue.
Original NVD description (English source)
[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] There are two issues related to the mapping of pages belonging to other domains: For one, an assertion is wrong there, where the case actually needs handling. A NULL pointer de-reference could result on a release build. This is CVE-2025-58144. And then the P2M lock isn't held until a page reference was actually obtained (or the attempt to do so has failed). Otherwise the page can not only change type, but even ownership in between, thus allowing domain boundaries to be violated. This is CVE-2025-58145.
