This update for xen fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-10911: blkif responses leaked backend stack     data, which allowed unprivileged guest to obtain     sensitive information from the host or other guests     (XSA-216, bsc#1042863)

  - CVE-2017-10912: Page transfer might have allowed PV     guest to elevate privilege (XSA-217, bsc#1042882)

  - CVE-2017-10913, CVE-2017-10914: Races in the grant table     unmap code allowed for informations leaks and     potentially privilege escalation (XSA-218, bsc#1042893)

  - CVE-2017-10915: Insufficient reference counts during     shadow emulation allowed a malicious pair of guest to     elevate their privileges to the privileges that XEN runs     under (XSA-219, bsc#1042915)

  - CVE-2017-10917: Missing NULL pointer check in event     channel poll allows guests to DoS the host (XSA-221,     bsc#1042924)

  - CVE-2017-10918: Stale P2M mappings due to insufficient     error checking allowed malicious guest to leak     information or elevate privileges (XSA-222, bsc#1042931)

  - CVE-2017-10922, CVE-2017-10921, CVE-2017-10920: Grant     table operations mishandled reference counts allowing     malicious guests to escape (XSA-224, bsc#1042938)

  - CVE-2017-10916: PKRU and BND* leakage between vCPU-s     might have leaked information to other guests (XSA-220,     bsc#1042923)

  - CVE-2017-9330: USB OHCI Emulation in qemu allowed local     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop) by leveraging an incorrect return value     (bsc#1042160)

  - CVE-2017-8309: Memory leak in the audio/audio.c allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by repeatedly starting and stopping audio     capture (bsc#1037243)

  - CVE-2017-8112: hw/scsi/vmw_pvscsi.c allowed local guest     OS privileged users to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via the message ring     page count (bsc#1036470)

  - CVE-2017-8905: Xen a failsafe callback, which might have     allowed PV guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on     the host OS (XSA-215, bsc#1034845).

  - CVE-2017-9503: The MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 Host Bus Adapter     emulation support was vulnerable to a NULL pointer     dereference issue which allowed a privileged user inside     guest to crash the Qemu process on the host resulting in     DoS (bsc#1043297)

  - CVE-2017-9374: Missing free of 's->ipacket', causes a     host memory leak, allowing for DoS (bsc#1043074)

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201710-17 (Xen: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A local attacker could escalate privileges, cause a Denial of Service       condition, obtain sensitive information, or have other unspecified       impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Citrix XenServer installed on the remote host is missing a security hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists that causes grant table operations to fail     due to improper handling of reference counts. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     have an unspecified impact.

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to     blkif responses leaking stack data. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially     sensitive information.

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the event     channel poll that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.

  - A flaw exists in shadow emulation due to insufficient     reference counts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.

  - A race condition exists in the grant table unmap code     that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have     an unspecified impact.

  - An unspecified flaw exists in page transfers that allows     a local attacker on the PV guest to gain elevated     privileges.

  - A flaw exists that is triggered by stale P2M mappings     due to insufficient error checking. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified     impact.

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : please see Oracle VM Security Advisory OVMSA-2017-0142 for details.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Xen through 4.8.x mishandles page transfer, which allows guest OS users to obtain privileged host OS     access, aka XSA-217. (CVE-2017-10912)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
