   Security vulnerabilities fixed:

   - CVE-2018-19961, CVE-2018-19962: Fixed an issue related to insufficient
     TLB flushing with AMD IOMMUs, which potentially allowed a guest to

     access. (XSA-275) (bsc#1115040)
   - CVE-2018-19965: Fixed an issue related to the INVPCID instruction in
     case non-canonical addresses are accessed, which may allow a guest to
     cause Xen to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the
     entire host. (XSA-279) (bsc#1115045)
   - CVE-2018-19966: Fixed an issue related to a previous fix for XSA-240,
     which conflicted with shadow paging and allowed a guest to cause Xen to
     crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (XSA-280) (bsc#1115047)
   - CVE-2018-18883: Fixed an issue related to inproper restriction of nested
     VT-x, which allowed a guest to cause Xen to crash, resulting in a Denial
     of Service (DoS). (XSA-278) (bsc#1114405)
   - CVE-2018-15468: Fixed incorrect MSR_DEBUGCTL handling, which allowed
     guests to enable Branch Trace Store and may cause a Denial of Service
     (DoS) of the entire host. (XSA-269) (bsc#1103276)
   - CVE-2018-15469: Fixed use of v2 grant tables on ARM, which were not

     (bsc#1103275)
   - CVE-2018-15470: Fixed an issue in the logic in oxenstored for handling

     system-wide Denial
     of Service (DoS). (XSA-272) (bsc#1103279)
   - CVE-2018-3646: Mitigations for VMM aspects of L1 Terminal Fault
