Synopsis:	Important: xen security and bug fix update
Issue date:	2008-10-01
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-1945 CVE-2008-1952

It was discovered that the hypervisor's para-virtualized framebuffer (PVFB)
backend failed to validate the frontend's framebuffer description properly.
This could allow a privileged user in the unprivileged domain (DomU) to
cause a denial of service, or, possibly, elevate privileges to the
privileged domain (Dom0). (CVE-2008-1952)

A flaw was found in the QEMU block format auto-detection, when running
fully-virtualized guests and using Qemu images written on removable media
(USB storage, 3.5" disks). Privileged users of such fully-virtualized
guests (DomU), with a raw-formatted disk image, were able to write a header
to that disk image describing another format. This could allow such guests
to read arbitrary files in their hypervisor's host (Dom0). (CVE-2008-1945)

Additionally, the following bug is addressed in this update:

* The qcow-create command terminated when invoked due to glibc bounds
checking on the realpath() function.
