        supposed to be entirely transparent to guest, but this

        disallow PCI device assignment for HVM guest when PoD is
        enabled') which a toolstack might wish to explicitly
        prohibit (in this case, because the two simply don't
        function in combination). In such cases, the guest
        mustn't be able to subvert the configuration chosen by
        the toolstack.

      - x86/shadow: correct SH_LINEAR mapping detection in
        sh_guess_wrmap The fix for XSA-243 / CVE-2017-15592 (c/s
        bf2b4eadcf379) introduced a change in behaviour for
        sh_guest_wrmap, where it had to cope with no shadow
        linear mapping being present. As the name suggests,
        guest_vtable is a mapping of the guests pagetable, not
        Xen's pagetable, meaning that it isn't the pagetable we
        need to check for the shadow linear slot in. The
        practical upshot is that a shadow HVM vcpu which
        switches into 4-level paging mode, with an L4 pagetable
        that contains a mapping which aliases Xen's
        SH_LINEAR_PT_VIRT_START will fool the safety check for
        whether a SHADOW_LINEAR mapping is present. As the check
        passes (when it should have failed), Xen subsequently
        falls over the missing mapping with a pagefault such as:
        (XEN) Pagetable walk from ffff8140a0503880: (XEN)

      - dpci: Fix a race during unbinding of MSI interrupt The
        check of hvm_irq_dpci->mapping and read of flags are not
        protected in same critical area, so the unbind of MSI
        interrupt may intercepts between them. Like below scene:

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201801-14 (Xen: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xen. Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details. Impact : A local attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Xen (QEMU) process on the host, gain privileges on the host system, or cause a Denial of Service condition. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

    descriptionAccording to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by an infinite loop guest-to-host denial of service vulnerability. This issue only affects x86 systems that have 2MiB or 1GiB HAP pages enabled. ARM systems are not affected. x86 PV VMs can not trigger this vulnerability. Note that Nessus has checked the changeset versions based on the xen.git change log. Nessus did not check guest hardware configurations or if patches were applied manually to the source code before a recompile and reinstall.
