Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8615 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-2015-8615/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8615/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8615","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8615/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8615","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8615","GHSA-5p4h-mjwj-j325"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Xen hypervisor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local HVM guest users can cause a denial of service by triggering excessive console logging through frequent callback method changes.","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":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-254","name":null}],"description":"The hvm_set_callback_via function in arch/x86/hvm/irq.c in Xen 4.6 does not limit the number of printk console messages when logging the new callback method, which allows local HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service via a large number of changes to the callback method (HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_IRQ).","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-2015-8615","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"xen:xen","products":["xen:xen"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8616"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8614"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-01-08","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 HVM guest users can cause a denial of service by triggering excessive console logging through frequent callback method changes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8615/"}
