High · 7.9 CVE-2026-42487 EUVD-2026-37888GHSA-xx8x-hq3h-f37h

x86 HVM I/O port list traversal

Published Jun 18, 2026 · Updated Jun 18, 2026 · Assigned by XEN

Description

HVM guest I/O port accesses are subject to either emulation or at least
translation. Translations are managed by the device model (via
XEN_DOMCTL_ioport_mapping), and hence the linked list used may changed
at any time. Traversal of those lists (while handling guest I/O port
accesses) therefore needs synchronizing with updates, which was missing
so far.
