Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Xen, the worst of which
could lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the host system.

Background
==========

Xen is a bare-metal hypervisor.

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xen. Please review the
CVE identifiers and Xen Security Advisory referenced below for details.

Impact
======

A local attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code with
privileges of Xen (QEMU) process on the host, gain privileges on the
host system, cause a Denial of Service condition, or obtain sensitive
information.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Xen users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/xen-4.7.1-r5"

All Xen Tools users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=app-emulation/xen-tools-4.7.1-r6"
