(CVE-2014-9030).
– Insufficient bounding of “REP MOVS” to MMIO emulated inside the
hypervisor (CVE-2014-8867).
– Excessive checking in compatibility mode hypercall argument translation
(CVE-2014-8866).
– Guest user mode triggerable VM exits not handled by hypervisor
(bnc#9038500).
– Missing privilege level checks in x86 emulation of far branches
(CVE-2014-8595).
– Insufficient restrictions on certain MMU update hypercalls
(CVE-2014-8594).
– Long latency virtual-mmu operations are not preemptible (CVE-2014-5146,
CVE-2014-5149).
– Intel VT-d Interrupt Remapping engines can be evaded by native NMI
interrupts (CVE-2013-3495).

These non-security issues were fixed:
– Corrupted save/restore test leaves orphaned data in xenstore
(bnc#903357).

– Restrict requires on grub2-x86_64-xen to x86_64 hosts
– Change default dump directory (bsc#900292).
– Update xen2libvirt.py to better detect and handle file formats
– libxc: check return values on mmap() and madvise() on
xc_alloc_hypercall_buffer() (bnc#897906).
