                 CVE-2017-8905


Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CVE-2016-9932 (XSA-200)

    CMPXCHG8B emulation allows local HVM guest OS users to obtain sensitive
    information from host stack memory.

CVE-2017-7995

    Description
    Xen checks access permissions to MMIO ranges only after accessing them,
    allowing host PCI device space memory reads.

CVE-2017-8903 (XSA-213)

    Xen mishandles page tables after an IRET hypercall which can lead to
    arbitrary code execution on the host OS. The vulnerability is only exposed
    to 64-bit PV guests.

CVE-2017-8904 (XSA-214)

    Xen mishandles the "contains segment descriptors" property during
    GNTTABOP_transfer. This might allow PV guest OS users to execute arbitrary
    code on the host OS.

CVE-2017-8905 (XSA-215)

    Xen mishandles a failsafe callback which might allow PV guest OS users to
    execute arbitrary code on the host OS.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
4.1.6.lts1-8.

We recommend that you upgrade your xen packages.
