Title
WinPVDrivers: Excessive permissions on user-exposed devices
Summary
[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]
The Windows PV drivers expose various facilities to userspace. Several
of these have no security descriptor, and are therefore fully accessible
to unprivileged users. These are:
1. XenCons, CVE-2025-27462
2. XenIface, CVE-2025-27463
3. XenBus, CVE-2025-27464

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
