    descriptionAccording to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service 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.

    This feature was added :
    
      - Added script, udev rule and systemd service to watch for
        vcpu online/offline events in a HVM domU. They are
        triggered via 'xl vcpu-set domU N'
    
    These security issues were fixed :
    
      - CVE-2018-8897: Prevent mishandling of debug exceptions
        on x86 (XSA-260, bsc#1090820)
    
      - Handle HPET timers in IO-APIC mode correctly to prevent
        malicious or buggy HVM guests from causing a hypervisor
        crash or potentially privilege escalation/information
        leaks (XSA-261, bsc#1090822)
    
      - Prevent unbounded loop, induced by qemu allowing an
        attacker to permanently keep a physical CPU core busy
        (XSA-262, bsc#1090823)
    
      - CVE-2018-10472: x86 HVM guest OS users (in certain
        configurations) were able to read arbitrary dom0 files
        via QMP live insertion of a CDROM, in conjunction with
        specifying the target file as the backing file of a
        snapshot (bsc#1089152).
    
      - CVE-2018-10471: x86 PV guest OS users were able to cause
        a denial of service (out-of-bounds zero write and
        hypervisor crash) via unexpected INT 80 processing,
        because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5754
        (bsc#1089635).
    
      - CVE-2018-7540: x86 PV guest OS users were able to cause
        a denial of service (host OS CPU hang) via
        non-preemptable L3/L4 pagetable freeing (bsc#1080635).
    
      - CVE-2018-7541: Guest OS users were able to cause a
        denial of service (hypervisor crash) or gain privileges
        by triggering a grant-table transition from v2 to v1
        (bsc#1080662).
    
      - CVE-2018-7542: x86 PVH guest OS users were able to cause
        a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
        hypervisor crash) by leveraging the mishandling of
        configurations that lack a Local APIC (bsc#1080634).
    
    These non-security issues were fixed :
    
      - bsc#1087252: Update built-in defaults for xenstored in
        stubdom, keep default to run xenstored as daemon in dom0
    
      - bsc#1087251: Preserve xen-syms from xen-dbg.gz to allow
        processing vmcores with crash(1) 
    
      - bsc#1072834: Prevent unchecked MSR access error This
        update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP3:Update
