Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for xen fixes the following issues :

A recent systemd update caused a regression in 'xenstored.service' systemd now fails to track units that use systemd-notify.

Add a fix to delay between the call to 'systemd-notify' and the final exit of the wrapper script. (bsc#1185021, bsc#1185196)

Run xenstored in a separeately, which will make processing of large and/or concurrent batches of xenstore accesses more robust.
