These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2016-7092: The get_page_from_l3e function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen
allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS
privileges via vectors related to L3 recursive pagetables (bsc#995785)
- CVE-2016-7093: Xen allowed local HVM guest OS administrators to
overwrite hypervisor memory and consequently gain host OS privileges by
leveraging mishandling of instruction pointer truncation during
emulation (bsc#995789)
- CVE-2016-7094: Buffer overflow in Xen allowed local x86 HVM guest OS
administrators on guests running with shadow paging to cause a denial of
service via a pagetable update (bsc#995792)
- CVE-2016-6836: VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device support was leaging information
leakage. A privileged user inside guest could have used this to leak
host memory bytes to a guest (boo#994761)
- CVE-2016-6888: Integer overflow in packet initialisation in VMXNET3
device driver. A privileged user inside guest could have used this flaw
to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (bsc#994772)
- CVE-2016-6833: Use-after-free issue in the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device
support. A privileged user inside guest could have used this issue to
crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (boo#994775)
- CVE-2016-6835: Buffer overflow in the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device support,
causing an OOB read access (bsc#994625)
- CVE-2016-6834: A infinite loop during packet fragmentation in the VMWARE
VMXNET3 NIC device support allowed privileged user inside guest to crash
the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (bsc#994421)
- CVE-2016-6258: The PV pagetable code in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed
local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS privileges by
leveraging fast-paths for updating pagetable entries (bsc#988675)
- CVE-2016-6259: Xen did not implement Supervisor Mode Access Prevention
(SMAP) whitelisting in 32-bit exception and event delivery, which
allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS kernels to cause a denial of service
(hypervisor and VM crash) by triggering a safety check (bsc#988676)
- CVE-2016-5403: The virtqueue_pop function in hw/virtio/virtio.c in QEMU
allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption and QEMU process crash) by submitting requests
without waiting for completion (boo#990923)
- CVE-2016-6351: The esp_do_dma function in hw/scsi/esp.c, when built with
ESP/NCR53C9x controller emulation support, allowed local guest OS
administrators to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and
QEMU process c ...
