CVE-2016-3158,
CVE-2016-3159 (XSA-172)

Jan Beulich from SUSE discovered that Xen does not properly handle
writes to the hardware FSW.ES bit when running on AMD64 processors.
A malicious domain can take advantage of this flaw to obtain address
space usage and timing information, about another domain, at a
fairly low rate.

CVE-2016-3960 (XSA-173)

Ling Liu and Yihan Lian of the Cloud Security Team, Qihoo 360
discovered an integer overflow in the x86 shadow pagetable code. A
HVM guest using shadow pagetables can cause the host to crash. A PV
guest using shadow pagetables (i.e. being migrated) with PV
superpages enabled (which is not the default) can crash the host, or
corrupt hypervisor memory, potentially leading to privilege
escalation.");
