Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2012:1130
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2012:1130. The xen packages contain administration tools and the xend service for managing the kernel-xen kernel for virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A flaw was found in the way the pyGrub boot loader handled compressed kernel images. A privileged guest user in a para-virtualized guest (a DomU) could use this flaw to create a crafted kernel image that, when attempting to boot it, could result in an out-of-memory condition in the privileged domain (the Dom0). (CVE-2012-2625) Red Hat would like to thank Xinli Niu for reporting this issue. All users of xen are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, the xend service must be restarted for this update to take effect. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1130.html Risk factor : Medium
