MEDIUM CVSS 4.9 moksha
Description

A pool-operator in XAPI-based hypervisors (XenServer, XCP-ng) can manipulate the SR scanning interval by writing an arbitrary float value to Host.other_config:auto-scan-interval. The value is read at xapi_sr.ml:166-168 with float_of_string and no range validation. Setting 0.001 causes continuous SR scanning (CPU/IO exhaustion); setting 999999999 effectively disables scanning (storage state blindness). The field has no map_keys_roles entries for infrastructure keys.
