[DLA 720-1] xen security update

Package : xen
Version : 4.1.6.lts1-4
CVE ID : CVE-2016-9379 CVE-2016-9380 CVE-2016-9381 CVE-2016-9382
CVE-2016-9383 CVE-2016-9386

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CVE-2016-9379, CVE-2016-9380 (XSA-198)

pygrub, the boot loader emulator, fails to quote (or sanity check)
its results when reporting them to its caller. A malicious guest
administrator can obtain the contents of sensitive host files

CVE-2016-9381 (XSA-197)

The compiler can emit optimizations in qemu which can lead to double
fetch vulnerabilities. Malicious administrators can exploit this
vulnerability to take over the qemu process, elevating its privilege
to that of the qemu process.

CVE-2016-9382 (XSA-192)

LDTR, just like TR, is purely a protected mode facility. Hence even
when switching to a VM86 mode task, LDTR loading needs to follow
protected mode semantics. A malicious unprivileged guest process
can crash or escalate its privilege to that of the guest operating
system.

CVE-2016-9383 (XSA-195)

When Xen needs to emulate some instruction, to efficiently handle
the emulation, the memory address and register operand are
recalculated internally to Xen. In this process, the high bits of
an intermediate expression were discarded, leading to both the
memory location and the register operand being wrong. A malicious
guest can modify arbitrary memory.

CVE-2016-9386 (XSA-191)

The Xen x86 emulator erroneously failed to consider the unusability
of segments when performing memory accesses. An unprivileged guest
user program may be able to elevate its privilege to that of the
guest operating system.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
4.1.6.lts1-4. For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems will be fixed shortly.

We recommend that you upgrade your xen packages.
