Vulnerability Details CVE-2026-23555
Any guest issuing a Xenstore command accessing a node using the
(illegal) node path "/local/domain/", will crash xenstored due to a
clobbered error indicator in xenstored when verifying the node path.
Note that the crash is forced via a failing assert() statement in
xenstored. In case xenstored is being built with NDEBUG #defined,
an unprivileged guest trying to access the node path "/local/domain/"
will result in it no longer being serviced by xenstored, other guests
(including dom0) will still be serviced, but xenstored will use up
all cpu time it can get.
