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

  - libxc: builder: limit maximum size of kernel/ramdisk.
    Allowing user supplied kernels of arbitrary sizes,     especially during decompression, can swallow up dom0     memory leading to either virtual address space     exhaustion in the builder process or allocation     failures/OOM killing of both toolstack and unrelated     processes. We disable these checks when building in a     stub domain for pvgrub since this uses the guest's own     memory and is isolated. Decompression of gzip compressed     kernels and ramdisks has been safe since     14954:58205257517d (Xen 3.1.0 onwards). This is XSA-25 /     CVE-2012-4544. Also make explicit checks for buffer     overflows in various decompression routines. These were     already ruled out due to other properties of the code     but check them as a belt-and-braces measure.

    [ Includes 25589:60f09d1ab1fe for CVE-2012-2625]     (CVE-2012-4544)

  - compat/gnttab: Prevent infinite loop in compat code c/s     20281:95ea2052b41b, which introduces Grant Table version     2 hypercalls introduces a vulnerability whereby the     compat hypercall handler can fall into an infinite loop.
    If the watchdog is enabled, Xen will die after the     timeout. This is a security problem, XSA-24 /     CVE-2012-4539. (CVE-2012-4539)

  - xen/mm/shadow: check toplevel pagetables are present     before unhooking them. If the guest has not fully     populated its top-level PAE entries when it calls     HVMOP_pagetable_dying, the shadow code could try to     unhook entries from MFN 0. Add a check to avoid that     case. This issue was introduced by c/s     21239:b9d2db109cf5. This is a security problem, XSA-23 /     CVE-2012-4538. (CVE-2012-4538)

  - x86/physmap: Prevent incorrect updates of m2p mappings     In certain conditions, such as low memory, set_p2m_entry     can fail. Currently, the p2m and m2p tables will get out     of sync because we still update the m2p table after the     p2m update has failed. If that happens, subsequent     guest-invoked memory operations can cause BUGs and     ASSERTs to kill Xen. This is fixed by only updating the     m2p table iff the p2m was successfully updated. This is     a security problem, XSA-22 / CVE-2012-4537.
    (CVE-2012-4537)

  - x86/physdev: Range check pirq parameter from guests     Otherwise Xen will read beyond either end of the struct     domain.arch.pirq_emuirq array, usually resulting in a     fatal page fault. This vulnerability was introduced by     c/s 23241:d21100f1d00e, which adds a call to     domain_pirq_to_emuirq which uses the guest provided pirq     value before range checking it, and was fixed by c/s     23573:584c2e5e03d9 which changed the behaviour of the     domain_pirq_to_emuirq macro to use radix trees instead     of a flat array. This is XSA-21 / CVE-2012-4536.
    (CVE-2012-4536)

  - VCPU/timers: Prevent overflow in calculations, leading     to DoS vulnerability The timer action for a vcpu     periodic timer is to calculate the next expiry time, and     to reinsert itself into the timer queue. If the deadline     ends up in the past, Xen never leaves __do_softirq. The     affected PCPU will stay in an infinite loop until Xen is     killed by the watchdog (if enabled). This is a security     problem, XSA-20 / CVE-2012-4535. (CVE-2012-4535)

  - Correct RTC time offset update error for HVM guest     changeset 24947:b198ada9689d

  - always release vm running lock on VM shutdown Before     this patch, when xend restarted, the VM running lock     will not be released on shutdown, so the VM could never     start again. Talked with Junjie, we recommend always     releasing the lock on VM shutdown. So even when xend     restarted, there should be no stale lock leaving there.

XEN was updated to fix various bugs and security issues :

The following security issues have been fixed :

  - xen: Domain builder Out-of-memory due to malicious     kernel/ramdisk (XSA 25). (CVE-2012-4544)

  - XEN / qemu: guest administrator can access qemu monitor     console (XSA-19). (CVE-2012-4411)

  - xen: Timer overflow DoS vulnerability (XSA 20).
    (CVE-2012-4535)

  - xen: pirq range check DoS vulnerability (XSA 21).
    (CVE-2012-4536)

  - xen: Memory mapping failure DoS vulnerability (XSA 22).

  - xen: Unhooking empty PAE entries DoS vulnerability (XSA     23). (CVE-2012-4538)

  - xen: Grant table hypercall infinite loop DoS     vulnerability (XSA 24). (CVE-2012-4539)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-24 (Xen: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xen. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Guest domains could possibly gain privileges, execute arbitrary code, or       cause a Denial of Service on the host domain (Dom0). Additionally, guest       domains could gain information about other virtual machines running on       the same host or read arbitrary files on the host.
  Workaround :

    The CVEs listed below do not currently have fixes, but only apply to Xen       setups which have &ldquo;tmem&rdquo; specified on the hypervisor command line.
      TMEM is not currently supported for use in production systems, and       administrators using tmem should disable it.
      Relevant CVEs:
      * CVE-2012-2497
