[SECURITY] [DLA 699-1] xen security update

Recommended Posts

Package : xen

Version : 4.1.6.lts1-3

CVE ID : CVE-2016-7777

 

Xen does not properly honor CR0.TS and CR0.EM, which allows local x86

HVM guest OS users to read or modify FPU, MMX, or XMM register state

information belonging to arbitrary tasks on the guest by modifying an

instruction while the hypervisor is preparing to emulate it.

 

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version

4.1.6.lts1-3.

 

We recommend that you upgrade your xen packages.

these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
