It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-6268 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Xen Xen. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6268/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6268/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-6268","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6268/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-6268","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-6268","GHSA-pqpf-jcx3-x4v7","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-6268"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Xen hypervisor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local guest users can crash the Xen host by triggering an uninitialized FIFO-based event channel control block during binding or moving events.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"xen","vendor":"xen"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"The evtchn_fifo_set_pending function in Xen 4.4.x allows local guest users to cause a denial of service (host crash) via vectors involving an uninitialized FIFO-based event channel control block when (1) binding or (2) moving an event to a different VCPU.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6268","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"xen:xen","products":["xen:xen"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6269"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6262"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-01-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-10912","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-10918","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-10920","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-10921","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mutiple vulnerabilities in the Viridian interface","id":"CVE-2025-27466","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mutiple vulnerabilities in the Viridian interface","id":"CVE-2025-58142","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mutiple vulnerabilities in the Viridian interface","id":"CVE-2025-58143","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local guest users can crash the Xen host by triggering an uninitialized FIFO-based event channel control block during binding or moving events.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6268/"}
