<summary>Security update for xen</summary>
<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)
