According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the alloc_heap_pages() function due to     improper handling when 'node >= MAX_NUMNODES'. A guest     attacker can use crafted hypercalls to execute arbitrary     code on the host system. (CVE-2017-14316)

  - A double-free flaw exists in the domain_cleanup()     function within 'xenstored_domain.c'. A local attacker     can use this flaw to crash the xenstored daemon which     potentially could cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2017-14317)

  - A null pointer dereference flaw exists in the
    __gnttab_cache_flush() function. An attacker could     potentially leverage this flaw to crash the host system     from a guest system. (CVE-2017-14318)

  - A flaw exists within 'arch/x86/mm.c'. An attacker could     leverage this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges     on the host system from a guest system. (CVE-2017-14319)

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.

  - CVE-2017-11434: The dhcp_decode function in     slirp/bootp.c allowed local guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted     DHCP options string (bsc#1049578).
