"According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor
installed on the remote host is affected by flaw within the
page_alloc.c and asm-arm/numa.h due to not scrubbing the memory on
boot. This could potentially leave sensitive information available to
read after a reboot.

This issue only affects ARM systems. x86 systems are not affected.

Note that Nessus has checked the changeset versions based on the
xen.git change log. Nessus did not check guest hardware configurations
or if patches were applied manually to the source code before a
recompile and reinstall.");
