Synopsis: Moderate: xen security update Issue Date: 2013-02-07 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-4544 -- A flaw was found in the way libxc, the Xen control library, handled excessively large kernel and ramdisk images when starting new guests. A privileged guest user in a para-virtualized guest (a DomU) could create a crafted kernel or ramdisk image that, when attempting to use it during guest start, could result in an out-of-memory condition in the privileged domain (the Dom0). (CVE-2012-4544) After installing the updated packages, the xend service must be restarted for this update to take effect. -- SL5 x86_64 xen-debuginfo-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.i386.rpm xen-debuginfo-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.x86_64.rpm xen-libs-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.i386.rpm xen-libs-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.x86_64.rpm xen-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.x86_64.rpm xen-devel-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.i386.rpm xen-devel-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.x86_64.rpm i386 xen-debuginfo-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.i386.rpm xen-libs-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.i386.rpm xen-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.i386.rpm xen-devel-3.0.3-142.el5_9.1.i386.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
