The remote host is missing an update for the 'xen' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the way QEMU's NE2000 NIC emulation implementation handled certain packets received over the network. Red Hat would like to thank Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Inc. for reporting this issue. All xen users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, all running fully-virtualized guests must be restarted for this update to take effect
