For migration as well as to work around kernels unaware of L1TF (see XSA-273), PV guests may be run in shadow paging mode. Since Xen itself needs to be mapped when PV guests run, Xen and shadowed PV guests run directly the respective shadow page tables. For 64-bit PV guests this means running on the shadow of the guest root page table. In the course of dealing with shortage of memory in the shadow pool associated with a domain, shadows of page tables may be torn down. This tearing down may include the shadow root page table that the CPU in question is presently running on. While a precaution exists to supposedly prevent the tearing down of the underlying live page table, the time window covered by that precaution isn't large enough.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Arm provides multiple helpers to clean & invalidate the cache for a given region. This is, for instance,
    used when allocating guest memory to ensure any writes (such as the ones during scrubbing) have reached
    memory before handing over the page to a guest. Unfortunately, the arithmetics in the helpers can overflow
    and would then result to skip the cache cleaning/invalidation. Therefore there is no guarantee when all
    the writes will reach the memory. (CVE-2023-34321)

    shadow paging mode. Since Xen itself needs to be mapped when PV guests run, Xen and shadowed PV guests run
    directly the respective shadow page tables. For 64-bit PV guests this means running on the shadow of the

    a domain, shadows of page tables may be torn down. This tearing down may include the shadow root page
    table that the CPU in question is presently running on. While a precaution exists to supposedly prevent
    the tearing down of the underlying live page table, the time window covered by that precaution isn't large
    enough. (CVE-2023-34322)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
