Re: Xen Security Advisory 88 - use-after-free in xc_cpupool_getinfo() under memory pressure

Hash: SHA1

If xc_cpumap_alloc() fails then xc_cpupool_getinfo() will free and incorrectly
return the then-free pointer to the result structure.

An attacker may be able to cause a multi-threaded toolstack using this
function to race against itself

Use CVE-2014-1950.
