The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2016-9932 (XSA-200)
CMPXCHG8B emulation allows local HVM guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from host stack memory.
CVE-2017-7995
Description Xen checks access permissions to MMIO ranges only after accessing them, allowing host PCI device space memory reads.
CVE-2017-8903 (XSA-213)
Xen mishandles page tables after an IRET hypercall which can lead to arbitrary code execution on the host OS. The vulnerability is only exposed to 64-bit PV guests.
CVE-2017-8904 (XSA-214)
Xen mishandles the 'contains segment descriptors' property during GNTTABOP_transfer. This might allow PV guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
CVE-2017-8905 (XSA-215)
Xen mishandles a failsafe callback which might allow PV guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.6.lts1-8.
We recommend that you upgrade your xen packages.
