Title
Mutiple vulnerabilities in the Viridian interface
Summary
[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the
text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]
There are multiple issues related to the handling and accessing of guest
memory pages in the viridian code:
1. A NULL pointer dereference in the updating of the reference TSC area.
This is CVE-2025-27466.
2. A NULL pointer dereference by assuming the SIM page is mapped when
a synthetic timer message has to be delivered. This is
CVE-2025-58142.
3. A race in the mapping of the reference TSC page, where a guest can
get Xen to free a page while still present in the guest physical to
machine (p2m) page tables. This is CVE-2025-58143.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
