   An update that solves 8 vulnerabilities and has two fixes
   is now available.

Description:


   The Xen hypervisor and tool-suite have been updated to fix
   security issues  and bugs:

   * CVE-2013-4494: XSA-73: A lock order reversal between
   page allocation and grant table locks could lead to host
   crashes or even host code execution.
   * CVE-2013-4553: XSA-74: A lock order reversal between
   page_alloc_lock and mm_rwlock could lead to deadlocks.
   * CVE-2013-4554: XSA-76: Hypercalls exposed to
   privilege rings 1 and 2 of HVM guests which might lead to
   Hypervisor escalation under specific circumstances.
   * CVE-2013-6375: XSA-78: Insufficient TLB flushing in
   VT-d (iommu) code could lead to access of memory that was
   revoked.
   * CVE-2013-4551: XSA-75: A host crash due to guest VMX
   instruction execution was fixed.

   Non-security bugs have also been fixed:

   * bnc#840997: It is possible to start a VM twice on the
   same node.
   * bnc#842417: In HP's UEFI x86_64 platform and SLES
   11-SP3, dom0 will could lock-up on multiple blades nPar.
   * bnc#848014: Xen Hypervisor panics on 8-blades nPar
   with 46-bit memory addressing.
   * bnc#846849: Soft lock-up with PCI pass-through and
   many VCPUs.
   * bnc#833483: Boot Failure with Xen kernel in UEFI mode
   with error "No memory for trampoline".
   * Increase the maximum supported CPUs in the Hypervisor
   to 512.
