  - CVE-2014-3615: Information leakage when guest sets high     graphics resolution.

  - CVE-2015-0361: XSA-116: A xen crash due to use after     free on hvm guest teardown.

  - CVE-2014-9065, CVE-2014-9066: XSA-114: xen: p2m lock     starvation.

Also the following bugs were fixed :

  - bnc#919098 - XEN blktap device intermittently fails to     connect

  - bnc#882089 - Windows 2012 R2 fails to boot up with     greater than 60 vcpus

  - bnc#903680 - Problems with detecting free loop devices     on Xen guest startup

  - bnc#861318 - xentop reports 'Found interface vif101.0     but domain 101 does not exist.'

  - Update seabios to rel-1.7.3.1 which is the correct     version for Xen 4.4

  - Enhancement to virsh/libvirtd 'send-key' command The xen     side small fix. (FATE#317240)

  - bnc#901488 - Intel ixgbe driver assigns rx/tx queues per     core resulting in irq problems on servers with a large     amount of CPU cores

  - bnc#910254 - SLES11 SP3 Xen VT-d igb NIC doesn't work

  - Add domain_migrate_constraints_set API to Xend's http     interface (FATE#317239)

  - Restore missing fixes from block-dmmd script

  - bnc#904255 - XEN boot hangs in early boot on UEFI system

  - bsc#912011 - high ping latency after upgrade to latest     SLES11SP3 on xen Dom0

  - Fix missing banner by restoring the figlet program.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The Virtualization service XEN was updated to fix various bugs and security issues.

The following security issues have been fixed :

XSA-125: Long latency MMIO mapping operations were not preemptible.

CVE-2015-2151: XSA-123: Instructions with register operands ignored eventual segment overrides encoded for them. Due to an insufficiently conditional assignment such a bogus segment override could have, however, corrupted a pointer used subsequently to store the result of the instruction.

CVE-2015-2045: XSA-122: The code handling certain sub-operations of the HYPERVISOR_xen_version hypercall failed to fully initialize all fields of structures subsequently copied back to guest memory. Due to this hypervisor stack contents were copied into the destination of the operation, thus becoming visible to the guest.

CVE-2015-2044: XSA-121: Emulation routines in the hypervisor dealing with certain system devices checked whether the access size by the guest is a supported one. When the access size is unsupported these routines failed to set the data to be returned to the guest for read accesses, so that hypervisor stack contents were copied into the destination of the operation, thus becoming visible to the guest.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The virtualization software XEN was updated to version 4.3.3 and also to fix bugs and security issues.
