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

Description:


   This update for xen fixes several issues.

   These security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2017-7980: An out-of-bounds r/w access issues in the Cirrus CLGD
     54xx VGA Emulator support allowed privileged user inside guest to use
     this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS or potentially
     execute arbitrary code on a host with privileges of Qemu process on the
     host (bsc#1035483).
   - A malicious 64-bit PV guest may be able to access all of system memory,
     allowing for all of privilege escalation, host crashes, and information
     leaks by placing a IRET hypercall in the middle of a multicall batch
     (XSA-213, bsc#1034843)
   - A malicious pair of guests may be able to access all of system memory,
     allowing for all of privilege escalation, host crashes, and information
     leaks because of a missing check when transfering pages via
     GNTTABOP_transfer (XSA-214, bsc#1034844).
   - Incorrect checks when handling exceptions allowed a malicious or buggy
     64-bit PV guest to modify part of a physical memory page not belonging
     to it, potentially allowing for all of privilege escalation, host or
     other guest crashes, and information leaks (XSA-215, bsc#1034845)
   - CVE-2017-7718: hw/display/cirrus_vga_rop.h allowed local guest OS
     privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and
     QEMU process crash) via vectors related to copying VGA data via the
     cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_transp_ and cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_ functions
     (bsc#1034994).

   This non-security issue was fixed:

   - bsc#1029827: Additional xenstore fixes
