CVE-2017-17046
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x on the ARM platform allowing guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from DRAM after a reboot, because disjoint blocks, and physical addresses that do not start at zero, are mishandled.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.36%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
