   An update that solves 8 vulnerabilities and has one errata
   is now available.

Description:

   This update for xen fixes the following issues:

   - CVE-2018-12207: Untrusted virtual machines on Intel CPUs could exploit a
     race condition in the Instruction Fetch Unit of the Intel CPU to cause a
     Machine Exception during Page Size Change, causing the CPU core to be
     non-functional. (bsc#1155945)
   - CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation on Intel CPUs
     with Transactional Memory support could be used to facilitate
     sidechannel information leaks out of microarchitectural buffers, similar
     to the previously described "Microarchitectural Data Sampling" attack.
     (bsc#1152497).
   - CVE-2019-18423: A malicious guest administrator may cause a hypervisor
     crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (bsc#1154460).
   - CVE-2019-18422: A malicious ARM guest might contrive to arrange for
     critical Xen code to run with interrupts erroneously enabled. This could
     lead to data corruption, denial of service, or possibly even privilege
     escalation. However a precise attack technique has not been identified.
     (bsc#1154464)
   - CVE-2019-18424: An untrusted domain with access to a physical device can
     DMA into host memory, leading to privilege escalation. (bsc#1154461).
   - CVE-2019-18421: A malicious PV guest administrator may have been able to
     escalate their privilege to that of the host. (bsc#1154458).
   - CVE-2019-18425: 32-bit PV guest user mode could elevate its privileges
     to that
     of the guest kernel. (bsc#1154456).
   - CVE-2019-18420: Malicious x86 PV guests may have caused a hypervisor
     crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (Dos). (bsc#1154448)
   - Upstream bug fixes (bsc#1027519)
