Dist Suse Esm H88
New release for Xen addresses dual security concerns, featuring remedies for both denial-of-service and privilege escalation vulnerabilities.
An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has 10 fixes is now available

Summary

This update for xen fixes the following issues: Security issues fixed: - Fixed multiple access violations introduced by XENMEM_exchange hypercall which could allow a single PV guest to leak arbitrary amounts of memory, leading to a denial of service (bsc#1126192). - Fixed an issue which could allow a malicious unprivileged guest userspace process to escalate its privilege to that of other userspace processes in the same guest and potentially thereby to that of the guest operating system (bsc#1126201). - Fixed an issue which could allow an untrusted PV domain with access to a physical device to DMA into its own pagetables leading to privilege escalation (bsc#1126195). - Fixed an issue which could allow a malicious or buggy x86 PV guest kernels can mount a Denial of Service attack affecting the whole system (bsc#1126196).
