CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/399.html

The netback driver in Xen, when using certain Linux versions that do not allow sleeping in softirq context, allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (scheduling while atomic error and host crash) via a malformed packet, which causes a mutex to be taken when trying to disable the interface.
