   An update that solves 10 vulnerabilities and has 11 fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   This update for xen fixes several issues.

   These security issues were fixed:
   - CVE-2016-7092: The get_page_from_l3e function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen
     allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS
     privileges via vectors related to L3 recursive pagetables (bsc#995785).
   - CVE-2016-7093: Xen allowed local HVM guest OS administrators to
     overwrite hypervisor memory and consequently gain host OS privileges by
     leveraging mishandling of instruction pointer truncation during
     emulation (bsc#995789).
   - CVE-2016-7094: Buffer overflow in Xen allowed local x86 HVM guest OS
     administrators on guests running with shadow paging to cause a denial of
     service via a pagetable update (bsc#995792).
   - CVE-2016-6836: Information leakage in vmxnet3_complete_packet
     (bsc#994761).
   - CVE-2016-6888: Integer overflow in packet initialisation in VMXNET3
     device driver. Aprivileged user inside guest c... (bsc#994772).
   - CVE-2016-6833: Use after free while writing (bsc#994775).
   - CVE-2016-6835: Buffer overflow in vmxnet_tx_pkt_parse_headers() in
     vmxnet3 deviceemulation. (bsc#994625).
   - CVE-2016-6834: An infinite loop during packet fragmentation (bsc#994421).
   - CVE-2016-6258: The PV pagetable code in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed
     local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS privileges by
     leveraging fast-paths for updating pagetable entries (bsc#988675).
   - CVE-2016-6259: Xen did not implement Supervisor Mode Access Prevention
     (SMAP) whitelisting in 32-bit exception and event delivery, which
     allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS kernels to cause a denial of service
     (hypervisor and VM crash) by triggering a safety check (bsc#988676).

   These non-security issues were fixed:
   - bsc#991934: Hypervisor crash in csched_acct
   - bsc#992224: During boot of Xen Hypervisor, failed to get contiguous
     memory for DMA
   - bsc#955104: Virsh reports error "one or more references were leaked
     after disconnect from hypervisor" when "virsh save" failed due to "no
     response from client after 6 keepalive messages"
   - bsc#959552: Migration of HVM guest leads into libvirt segmentation fault
   - bsc#993665: Migration of xen guests finishes in: One or more references
     were leaked after disconnect from the hypervisor
   - bsc#959330: Guest migrations using virsh results in error "Internal
     error: received hangup / error event on socket"
   - bsc#990500: VM virsh migration fails with keepalive error:
     ":virKeepAliveTimerInternal:143 : No response from client"
   - bsc#953518: Unplug also SCSI disks in qemu-xen-traditional for upstream
     unplug protocol
   - bsc#953518: xen_platform: unplug also SCSI disks in qemu-xen
   - bsc#971949: xl: Support (by ignoring) xl migrate --live. xl migrations
     are always live
   - bsc#970135: New virtualization project clock test randomly fails on Xen
   - bsc#990970: Add PMU support for Intel E7-8867 v4 (fam=6, model=79)
