    descriptionThis update for xen fixes the following issues : Update to Xen 4.11.1 bug fix release (bsc#1027519) CVE-2018-17963: Fixed an integer overflow issue in the QEMU emulator, which could occur when a packet with large packet size is processed. A user inside a guest could have used this flaw to crash the qemu process resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (bsc#1111014) CVE-2018-18849: Fixed an out of bounds memory access in the LSI53C895A SCSI host bus adapter emulation, which allowed a user and/or process to crash the qemu process resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (bsc#1114423) CVE-2018-18883: Fixed an issue related to inproper restriction of nested VT-x, which allowed a guest to cause Xen to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (XSA-278) (bsc#1114405) CVE-2018-19961, CVE-2018-19962: Fixed an issue related to insufficient TLB flushing with AMD IOMMUs, which potentially allowed a guest to escalate its privileges, may cause a Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host, or may be able to access data it is not supposed to access. (XSA-275) (bsc#1115040) CVE-2018-19963: Fixed the allocation of pages used to communicate with external emulators, which may have cuased Xen to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (XSA-276) (bsc#1115043) CVE-2018-19965: Fixed an issue related to the INVPCID instruction in case non-canonical addresses are accessed, which may allow a guest to cause Xen to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host. (XSA-279) (bsc#1115045) CVE-2018-19966: Fixed an issue related to a previous fix for XSA-240, which conflicted with shadow paging and allowed a guest to cause Xen to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) (XSA-280) (bsc#1115047) CVE-2018-19967: Fixed HLE constructs that allowed guests to lock up the host, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (XSA-282) (bsc#1114988) CVE-2018-19964: Fixed the incorrect error handling of p2m page removals, which allowed a guest to cause a deadlock, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host. (XSA-277) (bsc#1115044) CVE-2018-19665: Fixed an integer overflow resulting in memory corruption in various Bluetooth functions, allowing this to crash qemu process resulting in Denial of Service (DoS). (bsc#1117756). Other bugs fixed: Fixed an issue related to a domU hang on SLE12-SP3 HV (bsc#1108940) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionAccording to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a guest-to-host denial of service vulnerability. An attacker located on a guest virtual machine may be able to exploit this vulnerability to affect the availability of the host system. The vendor notes, only systems running HVM guests with their devicemodels in a stubdomain are considered vulnerable. 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.
