Synopsis

The remote OracleVM host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

- page-alloc: scrub pages used by hypervisor upon freeing ... unless they're part of a fully separate pool (and hence can't ever be used for guest allocations). This is XSA-100.

Solution

Update the affected xen / xen-devel / xen-tools packages.
