Title
Block Device Path Injection via PBD.device_config
Summary
A pool-operator in XAPI-based hypervisors (XenServer, XCP-ng) can inject an arbitrary block device path via PBD.device_config:device when creating an EXT or LVM SR. The SM driver reads the path and passes it to pvcreate and vgcreate, which execute destructive operations on the attacker-chosen device. A systemroot check protects the host root device, but does not protect other partitions, additional disks, remote block devices, or other VMs' local storage. Data destruction on arbitrary accessible block devices results.
