Xen is a virtual machine monitor

Security Fix(es):

  • An out of bounds array access issue was found in the Xen virtual machine
    monitor, built with the QEMU ioport support. It could occur while doing ioport
    read/write operations, if guest was to supply a 32bit address parameter. A
    privileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate their
    privileges on a host. (CVE-2016-9637)

Red Hat would like to thank the Xen project for reporting this issue.
