Description
CVE-2025-27465 is a vulnerability in the Xen hypervisor related to incorrect exception handling during the replay of certain x86 instructions. When Xen emulates instructions that may raise exceptions, it uses executable stubs with logic to recover arithmetic flags. However, the metadata for exception handling in these cases was incorrect, causing Xen to treat exceptions as fatal rather than handling them gracefully.
