Language:

New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The XEN hypervisor was updated to fix two security issues :

 - Fixed a buffer overflow in the floppy drive emulation, which could be used to denial of service attacks or potential code execution against the host.
 (CVE-2015-3456)

 - Xen did not initialize certain fields, which allowed certain remote service domains to obtain sensitive information from memory via a (1) XEN_DOMCTL_gettscinfo or (2) XEN_SYSCTL_getdomaininfolist request.
 (CVE-2015-3340)

Solution

Update the affected xen packages.
