Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882182
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for xen CESA-2015:1002 centos5
Summary:Check the version of xen
Description:Summary:
Check the version of xen

Vulnerability Insight:
The xen packages contain administration
tools and the xend service for managing the kernel-xen kernel for virtualization
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the way QEMU's virtual
Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) handled FIFO buffer access while processing
certain FDC commands. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash
the guest or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the host with the
privileges of the host's QEMU process corresponding to the guest.
(CVE-2015-3456)

Red Hat would like to thank Jason Geffner of CrowdStrike for reporting
this issue.

All xen users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the
updated packages, all running fully-virtualized guests must be restarted
for this update to take effect.

Affected Software/OS:
xen on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
