arch/ia64/xen/faults.c in Xen 3.4 and 4.0 in Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other kernel versions, when running on IA-64 architectures, allows local users to cause a denial of service and "turn on BE by modifying the user mask of the PSR," as demonstrated via exploitation of CVE-2006-0742.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-2070 is a legacy Xen/Linux kernel issue limited to IA-64 systems. A local user could trigger a denial of service by abusing processor status handling. Business urgency is mainly for organizations still running old IA-64 Xen platforms; modern non-IA-64 environments are not shown as affected in the provided sources. Exposure appears narrow: legacy IA-64 hosts running affected Xen/kernel-xen combinations. Validate any remaining Itanium or IA-64 virtualization estate, especially systems tied to old Red Hat, Xen 3.4/4.0, or VMware-bundled third-party components. Treat as a focused legacy-platform availability risk. It should not distract from broader internet-facing risks unless the organization still operates IA-64 Xen systems supporting critical workloads. Mitigation focus: Apply applicable vendor updates from Red Hat, Xen, or VMware advisories.; Prioritize hosts running IA-64 Xen or kernel-xen 2.6.18.; Restrict local shell or tenant access on affected legacy systems..
