The remote host is missing an update for the 'xen' package(s) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server). A flaw was found in the way QEMU emulated the e1000 network interface card when the host was configured to accept jumbo network frames, and a fully-virtualized guest using the e1000 emulated driver was not. All users of xen are advised to upgrade to these updated packages to correct this issue
