  It was found that the xc_try_bzip2_decode() and xc_try_lzma_decode() decode
  routines did not correctly check for a possible buffer size overflow in the
  decoding loop. As well, several integer overflow flaws and missing
  error/range checking were found that could lead to an infinite loop. A
  privileged guest user could use these flaws to crash the guest or,
  possibly, execute arbitrary code in the privileged management domain
  (Dom0). (CVE-2011-1583)

  All xen users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
  contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be
