   An update that solves 5 vulnerabilities and has 5 fixes is
   now available.

Description:


   Xen has been updated to version 4.2.5 with additional patches to fix six
   security issues:

       * Guest effectable page reference leak in MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE handling
         (CVE-2014-9030).
       * Insufficient bounding of "REP MOVS" to MMIO emulated inside the
         hypervisor (CVE-2014-8867).
       * Excessive checking in compatibility mode hypercall argument
         translation (CVE-2014-8866).
       * Guest user mode triggerable VM exits not handled by hypervisor
         (bnc#903850).
       * Missing privilege level checks in x86 emulation of far branches
         (CVE-2014-8595).
       * Insufficient restrictions on certain MMU update hypercalls
         (CVE-2014-8594).

   These non-security issues have been fixed:

       * Xen save/restore of HVM guests cuts off disk and networking
         (bnc#866902).
       * Windows 2012 R2 fails to boot up with greater than 60 vcpus
         (bnc#882089).
       * Increase limit domUloader to 32MB (bnc#901317).
       * Adjust xentop column layout (bnc#896023).
