The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

  • x86: rate-limit logging in do_xen[oprof,pmu]_op Some of the sub-ops are acessible to all guests, and hence should be rate-limited. In the xenoprof case, just like for XSA-146, include them only in debug builds. Since the vPMU code is rather new, allow them to be always present, but downgrade them to (rate limited) guest messages. This is XSA-152. (CVE-2015-7971)

  • xenoprof: free domain’s vcpu array This was overlooked in fb442e2171 (‘x86_64: allow more vCPU-s per guest’).
    This is XSA-151. (CVE-2015-7969)

  • x86: guard against undue super page PTE creation When optional super page support got added (commit bd1cd81d64 ‘x86: PV support for hugepages’), two adjustments were missed: mod_l2_entry needs to consider the PSE and RW bits when deciding whether to use the fast path, and the PSE bit must not be removed from L2_DISALLOW_MASK unconditionally. This is XSA-148.

    [backport to Xen 4.1] (CVE-2015-7835)
