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

Description:

   This update for xen fixes several issues.

   These security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2017-12135: Unbounded recursion in grant table code allowed a
     malicious guest to crash the host or potentially escalate
     privileges/leak information (XSA-226, bsc#1051787).
   - CVE-2017-12137: Incorrectly-aligned updates to pagetables allowed for
     privilege escalation (XSA-227, bsc#1051788).
   - CVE-2017-11334: The address_space_write_continue function in exec.c
     allowed local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service
     (out-of-bounds access and guest instance crash) by leveraging use of
     qemu_map_ram_ptr to access guest ram block area (bsc#1048920).
   - CVE-2017-11434: The dhcp_decode function in slirp/bootp.c allowed local
     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a
     crafted DHCP
     options string (bsc#1049578).
   - CVE-2017-10806: Stack-based buffer overflow in hw/usb/redirect.c allowed
     local guest OS users to cause a denial of service via vectors related to
     logging debug messages (bsc#1047675).
   - CVE-2017-10664: qemu-nbd did not ignore SIGPIPE, which allowed remote
     attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by disconnecting
     during a server-to-client reply attempt (bsc#1046637).
   - CVE-2017-12855: Premature clearing of GTF_writing / GTF_reading lead to
     potentially leaking sensitive information (XSA-230, bsc#1052686).
   - CVE-2017-14316: Missing bound check in function `alloc_heap_pages` for
     an internal array allowed attackers using crafted hypercalls to execute
     arbitrary code within Xen (XSA-231, bsc#1056278)
   - CVE-2017-14317: A race in cxenstored may have cause a double-free
     allowind for DoS of the xenstored daemon (XSA-233, bsc#1056281).
   - CVE-2017-14319: An error while handling grant mappings allowed malicious
     or buggy x86 PV guest to escalate its privileges or crash the hypervisor
     (XSA-234, bsc#1056282).

   These non-security issues were fixed:

   - bsc#1002573: Optimized LVM functions in block-dmmd block-dmmd
   - bsc#1032598: Prevent removal of NVME devices
   - bsc#1037413: Support for newer intel cpu's, mwait-idle driver and skylake
