** Description changed:

- Linux pciback missing sanity checks leading to crash
+ The PCI backend driver in Xen, when running on an x86 system and using
+ Linux 3.1.x through 4.3.x as the driver domain, allows local guest
+ administrators to hit BUG conditions and cause a denial of service (NULL
+ pointer dereference and host OS crash) by leveraging a system with
+ access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X capable physical PCI device and
+ a crafted sequence of XEN_PCI_OP_* operations, aka "Linux pciback
+ missing sanity checks."
