DescriptionCVE.org

Addressing certain issues, in particular related to operations which may take excessively long and therefore would need preemption, has turned out overly costly. Since alternatives (HVM/PVH: HAP, PV: shim) are commonly available, the decision was to deprecate the functionality, while still retaining it for people to use at their own (security) risk. Memory-wise small enough guests may still be okay to run.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in Xen hypervisor running PV guests without hardware-assisted paging (HAP) or shim allows a malicious guest or remote attacker to monopolize CPU via long-running shadow paging operations, impacting host availability. This issue has been deprecated rather than patched, as modern alternatives (HAP, PVH, shim) eliminate
