CVE-2015-8615

The hvmsetcallbackvia function in arch/x86/hvm/irq.c in Xen 4.6 does not limit the number of printk console messages when logging the new callback method, which allows local HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service via a large number of changes to the callback method (HVMPARAMCALLBACKIRQ).
