Impact |
| 44 |
====== |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
A local attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code with the |
| 47 |
privileges of the Xen (QEMU) process on the host, gain privileges on |
| 48 |
the host system, or cause a Denial of Service condition. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |

| 51 |
========== |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |

|
| 55 |
Resolution |
| 56 |
========== |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |

| 61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/xen-4.9.1-r1" |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
All Xen tools users should upgrade to the latest version: |
