Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

in rare circumstances an unprivileged user can crash an HVM guest [XSA-10] (#843766), remove a dependency on PyXML and Require python-lxml instead of PyXML (#842843) adjust systemd service files not to report failures when running without a hypervisor or when xendomains.service doesn't find anything to start

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected xen package.
