This update for xen fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed:

  • Page transfer might have allowed PV guest to elevate privilege (XSA-217,
    bsc#1042882)
  • Races in the grant table unmap code allowed for informations leaks and
    potentially privilege escalation (XSA-218, bsc#1042893)
  • Insufficient reference counts during shadow emulation allowed a
    malicious pair of guest to elevate their privileges to the privileges
    that XEN runs under (XSA-219, bsc#1042915)
  • Missing NULL pointer check in event channel poll allows guests to DoS
    the host (XSA-221, bsc#1042924)
  • Stale P2M mappings due to insufficient error checking allowed malicious
    guest to leak information or elevate privileges (XSA-222, bsc#1042931)
  • Grant table operations mishandled reference counts allowing malicious
    guests to escape (XSA-224, bsc#1042938)
  • CVE-2017-9330: USB OHCI Emulation in qemu allowed local guest OS users
    to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by leveraging an incorrect
    return value (bsc#1042160)
  • CVE-2017-8309: Memory leak in the audio/audio.c allowed remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly starting
    and stopping audio capture (bsc#1037243)
  • PKRU and BND* leakage between vCPU-s might have leaked information to
    other guests (XSA-220, bsc#1042923)

These non-security issues were fixed:

  • bsc#1027519: Included various upstream patches
  • bsc#1035642: Ensure that rpmbuild works
