Security update for Xen
XEN has been updated to fix various bugs and security issues:
*
CVE-2013-0153: (XSA 36) To avoid an erratum in early hardware, the
Xen AMD IOMMU code by default choose to use a single interrupt
remapping table for the whole system. This sharing implied that any
guest with a passed through PCI device that is bus mastering capable
can inject interrupts into other guests, including domain 0. This has
been disabled for AMD chipsets not capable of it.
*
CVE-2012-6075: qemu: The e1000 had overflows under some conditions,
potentially corrupting memory.
*
CVE-2013-0154: (XSA 37) Hypervisor crash due to incorrect ASSERT
(debug build only)
*
CVE-2012-5634: (XSA-33) A VT-d interrupt remapping source validation
flaw was fixed.
Also the following bugs have been fixed:
* bnc#805094 - xen hot plug attach/detach fails
* bnc#802690 - domain locking can prevent a live migration from
completing
* bnc#797014 - no way to control live migrations
o fix logic error in stdiostream_progress
o restore logging in xc_save
o add options to control migration tunables
