Xen 3.3 through 4.1, when XSM is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service via vectors related to a "large memory allocation," a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-1891, CVE-2014-1893, and CVE-2014-1894.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
