This update for xen to version 4.7.2 fixes the following issues:

These security issues were fixed:

  • CVE-2017-7228: Broken check in memory_exchange() permited PV guest
    breakout (bsc#1030442).
  • XSA-206: Unprivileged guests issuing writes to xenstore were able to
    stall progress of the control domain or driver domain, possibly leading
    to a Denial of Service (DoS) of the entire host (bsc#1030144).
  • CVE-2017-6505: The ohci_service_ed_list function in hw/usb/hcd-ohci.c
    allowed local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (infinite
    loop) via vectors involving the number of link endpoint list descriptors
    (bsc#1028235).

These non-security issues were fixed:

  • bsc#1015348: libvirtd didn’t not start during boot
  • bsc#1014136: kdump couldn’t dump a kernel on SLES12-SP2 with Xen
    hypervisor.
  • bsc#1026236: Fixed paravirtualized performance
