The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux' package(s) announced via the USN-2846-1 advisory. Felix Wilhelm discovered a race condition in the Xen paravirtualized drivers which can cause double fetch vulnerabilities. An attacker in the paravirtualized guest could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host. (CVE-2015-8550) Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk discovered the Xen PCI backend driver does not perform consistency checks on the device's state, leading to denial of service vulnerabilities. (CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552
