Hi Ender,

Thanks for your report and the analysis.

The problem has already been identified and fixed upstream here:
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/-/commit/85e12104f47276b588d5efd33599c987c545eeb1

However the fix only recently landed in the upstream stable 4.20 branch:
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/-/commit/ac333dd662e18e86ffd2afd6c10e04305c9d137b

As such it will automatically be included in the next Debian stable upload of 
xen (security update or point release), but unfortunately not yet the upcoming 
13.4 point release.

I was also surprised to see that this bug was not noticed earlier. It really 
seems like not many people use that feature.

Maxi
