Title
Raw kbps Value Exposure in Private Xenstore via VIF.qos_algorithm_params
Summary
A vm-admin in XAPI-based hypervisors (XenServer, XCP-ng) can set VIF.qos_algorithm_params:kbps, which xenopsd writes as a raw Int64.to_string value to the VIF private xenstore path at device.ml:920-927. While Int64.to_string prevents path injection, the raw user-controlled rate values are readable by dom0 processes without provenance tracking. Dom0 tools consuming VIF private xenstore data cannot distinguish between system-generated and attacker-supplied values. The field has zero map_keys_roles entries.
Severity
