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

  - CVE-2016-7092 (XSA-185)
    Jeremie Boutoille of Quarkslab and Shangcong Luan of
    Alibaba discovered a flaw in the handling of L3
    pagetable entries, allowing a malicious 32-bit PV guest
    administrator can escalate their privilege to that of
    the host.

  - CVE-2016-7094 (XSA-187)
    x86 HVM guests running with shadow paging use a subset
    of the x86 emulator to handle the guest writing to its
    own pagetables. Andrew Cooper of Citrix discovered that
    there are situations a guest can provoke which result in
    exceeding the space allocated for internal state. A
    malicious HVM guest administrator can cause Xen to fail
    a bug check, causing a denial of service to the host.

  - CVE-2016-7154 (XSA-188)
    Mikhail Gorobets of Advanced Threat Research, Intel
    Security discovered a use after free flaw in the FIFO
    event channel code. A malicious guest administrator can
    crash the host, leading to a denial of service.
    Arbitrary code execution (and therefore privilege
    escalation), and information leaks, cannot be excluded."
