Title
Storage Driver Domain PBD Detach DoS via VM.other_config
Summary
A user with the vm-admin role in XAPI-based hypervisors (XenServer, XCP-ng) can inject a PBD reference into VM.other_config:storage_driver_domain. When the VM is shut down, XAPI calls Storage_access.reset on the referenced PBD's SR and sets the PBD's currently_attached field to false, clearing internal storage state. When the VM starts, XAPI forces a PBD plug on the injected reference. This enables denial-of-service against arbitrary storage repositories by cycling the injected VM's lifecycle.
