CVE-2026-23557 · Xenstored DoS via XS_RESET_WATCHES command

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

Any guest can cause xenstored to crash by issuing a XS_RESET_WATCHES command within a transaction due to an assert() triggering. In case xenstored was built with NDEBUG #defined nothing bad will happen, as assert() is doing nothing in this case. Note that the default is not to define NDEBUG for xenstored builds even in release builds of Xen.
