low Nessus Plugin ID 79519

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 :

- x86: check segment descriptor read result in 64-bit OUTS emulation When emulating such an operation from a 64-bit context (CS has long mode set), and the data segment is overridden to FS/GS, the result of reading the overridden segment's descriptor (read_descriptor) is not checked. If it fails, data_base is left uninitialized.
This can lead to 8 bytes of Xen's stack being leaked to the guest (implicitly, i.e. via the address given in a #PF). Coverity-ID: 1055116 This is CVE-2013-4368 / XSA-67.

Fix formatting. (CVE-2013-4368)

Solution

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