  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-2016-7154: Use-after-free vulnerability in the FIFO event channel
  code in Xen allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of
  service (host crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code or obtain
  sensitive information via an invalid guest frame number (bsc#997731)

  - 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-2016-5403: 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 cras ...
