   An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has one
   errata is now available.

Description:

   This update for xen fixes the following issues:

   - CVE-2018-17963: qemu_deliver_packet_iov accepted packet sizes greater
     than INT_MAX, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or
     possibly have unspecified other impact. (bsc#1111014)
   - CVE-2018-15468: The DEBUGCTL MSR contains several debugging features,
     some of which virtualise cleanly, but some do not. In particular, Branch
     Trace Store is not virtualised by the processor, and software has to be
     careful to configure it suitably not to lock up the core. As a result,
     it must only be available to fully trusted guests. Unfortunately, in the
     case that vPMU is disabled, all value checking was skipped, allowing the
     guest to choose any MSR_DEBUGCTL setting it likes. A malicious or buggy
     guest administrator (on Intel x86 HVM or PVH) could have locked up the
     entire host, causing a Denial of Service. (XSA-269) (bsc#1103276)

   Non security issues fixed:

   - Kernel oops in fs/dcache.c called by d_materialise_unique() (bsc#1094508)
