1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1952)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
Xen 4.x, when using Intel VT-d for a bus mastering capable PCI device, does not properly check the source when accessing a bridge device's interrupt remapping table entries for MSI interrupts, which allows local guest domains to cause a denial of service (interrupt injection) via unspecified vectors.
