xen was updated to fix nine security issues.
These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2015-4037: The slirp_smb function in net/slirp.c created temporary
files with predictable names, which allowed local users to cause a
denial of service (instantiation failure) by creating /tmp/qemu-smb.-
files before the program (bsc#932267).
- CVE-2014-0222: Integer overflow in the qcow_open function allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large L2 table in a
QCOW version 1 image (bsc#877642).
- CVE-2015-7835: Uncontrolled creation of large page mappings by PV guests
(bsc#950367).
- CVE-2015-7311: libxl in Xen did not properly handle the readonly flag on
disks when using the qemu-xen device model, which allowed local guest
users to write to a read-only disk image (bsc#947165).
- CVE-2015-5239: Integer overflow in vnc_client_read() and
protocol_client_msg() (bsc#944463).

denial of service (bsc#950703).
- CVE-2015-7969: Leak of per-domain profiling- related vcpu pointer array
