File CVE-2016-6835-qemuu-net-vmxnet3-buffer-overflow-in-vmxnet_tx_pkt_parse_headers.patch of Package xen.5853

References: bsc#994625 CVE-2016-6835

Vmxnet3 device emulator when parsing packet headers does not check
for IP header length. It could lead to a OOB access when reading
further packet data. Add check to avoid it.
