This update fixes various bugs in XEN :

The following security issues have been fixed :

  • A denial of service (Host Crash) in the XEN hypervisor.
    (CVE-2011-2901)

  • A bug was found in the way Xen handles CPUID instruction emulation during VM exits. An unprivileged guest user can potentially use this flaw to crash the guest.
    (CVE-2011-1936)

  • A 64-bit guest can get one of its vcpus into non-kernel mode without first providing a valid non-kernel pagetable. The observed failure mode was usually a hard lockup of the host (host denial of service).
    (CVE-2011-1166)

It fixes also the following bugs :

  • SLES 10 SP3 XEN: Device /dev/xvdp is already connected error when starting multiple vm’s. (bnc#654798)

  • HVM taking too long to dump vmcore. (bnc#684297)
