DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Xen, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users in a guest virtual machine to
cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially gain escalated
privileges.

1) An error when downgrading a grant table version of a guest can be
exploited to cause a hypervisor crash.

2) An error when handling certain HVM control operations can be
exploited to consume physical CPU resources.

3) An array-indexing error in the "HVMOP_set_mem_access" operation
handler can be exploited to cause a crash.

4) An error in the "XENMEM_exchange" handler may result in guest
provided addresses to be included in the hypervisor's reserved
range.

5) An error in the "guest_physmap_mark_populate_on_demand()" function
when checking subject GFNs can be exploited to cause a hang.

6) An error when handling "extent_order" values for
"XENMEM_decrease_reservation", "XENMEM_populate_physmap", and
"XENMEM_exchange" can be exploited to cause a hang.

7) An error in the "get_page_from_gfn()" function when handling an
input GFN can be exploited to reference memory outside of the frame
table.

Please see the vendor's advisory for a list of affected versions.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
