| CVE-2026-23553 | Low | 0.19 | 2.9 | 0.00 | Jan 28, 2026 | In the context switch logic Xen attempts to skip an IBPB in the case of a vCPU returning to a CPU on which it was the previous vCPU to run. While safe for Xen's isolation between vCPUs, this prevents the guest kernel correctly isolating between tasks. Consider: 1) vCPU runs… | ||
| CVE-2020-29480 | Low | 0.15 | 2.3 | 0.00 | Dec 15, 2020 | An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x.
