The fbld instruction emulation in Xen 3.3.x through 4.3.x does not use the correct variable for the source effective address, which allows local HVM guests to obtain hypervisor stack information by reading the values used by the instruction.

CVE-2013-4361 has a medium severity rating as it allows local HVM guests to access hypervisor stack information.
To fix CVE-2013-4361, you should upgrade your Xen hypervisor to a version that addresses this vulnerability.
CVE-2013-4361 affects Xen versions from 3.3.x through 4.3.x.
Yes, CVE-2013-4361 specifically affects local HVM guests in the Xen hypervisor.
The consequence of CVE-2013-4361 is that an attacker could gain sensitive information from the hypervisor's stack through local exploitation.
