This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update update project.

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

  - An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. There is a lack of preemption in evtchn_reset() /     evtchn_destroy(). In particular, the FIFO event channel model allows guests to have a large number of     event channels active at a time. Closing all of these (when resetting all event channels or when cleaning     up after the guest) may take extended periods of time. So far, there was no arrangement for preemption at     suitable intervals, allowing a CPU to spend an almost unbounded amount of time in the processing of these     operations. Malicious or buggy guest kernels can mount a Denial of Service (DoS) attack affecting the     entire system. All Xen versions are vulnerable in principle. Whether versions 4.3 and older are vulnerable     depends on underlying hardware characteristics. (CVE-2020-25601)

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