Description:
This update for xen fixes the following security issues:
- blkif responses leaked backend stack data, which allowed unprivileged
guest to obtain sensitive information from the host or other guests
(XSA-216, bsc#1042863)
- Page transfer might have allowed PV guest to elevate privilege (XSA-217,
bsc#1042882)
- Races in the grant table unmap code allowed for informations leaks and
potentially privilege escalation (XSA-218, bsc#1042893)
- Insufficient reference counts during shadow emulation allowed a
malicious pair of guest to elevate their privileges to the privileges
that XEN runs under (XSA-219, bsc#1042915)
- Stale P2M mappings due to insufficient error checking allowed malicious
guest to leak information or elevate privileges (XSA-222, bsc#1042931)
- Grant table operations mishandled reference counts allowing malicious
guests to escape (XSA-224, bsc#1042938)
- CVE-2017-9330: USB OHCI Emulation in qemu allowed local guest OS users
to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by leveraging an incorrect
return value (bsc#1042160)
- CVE-2017-8309: Memory leak in the audio/audio.c allowed remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly starting
and stopping audio capture (bsc#1037243)
- CVE-2017-8905: Xen a failsafe callback, which might have allowed PV
guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS (XSA-215,
bsc#1034845).
