This affects the is_private and is_global properties of the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network classes. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions based on IP addresses or perform other actions, depending on the application's capabilities.

The weakness is caused by insufficient access control mechanisms. A local unprivileged user of a guest operating system can trigger the Xen instruction emulator by attempting to execute an invalid opcode and read or modify FPU, MMX, and XMM register state data of another process within the same guest system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability leads to register state information disclosure and corruption.
