CVE-2026-23558 PUBLISHED CVSS 7.8 HIGH

grant table v2 race in status page mapping

Reported by xen · Published May 19, 2026

The adjustments made for XSA-379 as well as those subsequently becoming XSA-387 still left a race window, when a HVM or PVH guest does a grant table version change from v2 to v1 in parallel with mapping the status page(s) via XENMEM_add_to_physmap. Some of the status pages may then be freed while mappings of them would still be inserted into the guest's secondary (P2M) page tables.
