   An update that solves 5 vulnerabilities and has four fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   This update for xen fixes the following issues:

   XEN was updated to the Xen 4.9.3 bug fix only release (bsc#1027519)

   - CVE-2018-17963: qemu_deliver_packet_iov accepted packet sizes greater
     than INT_MAX, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or
     possibly have unspecified other impact. (bsc#1111014)
   - CVE-2018-15470: oxenstored might not have enforced the configured
     quota-maxentity. This allowed a malicious or buggy guest to write as
     many xenstore entries as it wishes, causing unbounded memory usage in
     oxenstored. This can lead to a system-wide DoS.  (XSA-272) (bsc#1103279)
   - CVE-2018-15469: ARM never properly implemented grant table v2, either in
     the hypervisor or in Linux. Unfortunately, an ARM guest can still
     request v2 grant tables; they will simply not be properly set up,
     resulting in subsequent grant-related hypercalls hitting BUG() checks.
     An unprivileged guest can cause a BUG() check in the hypervisor,
     resulting in a denial-of-service (crash). (XSA-268) (bsc#1103275) Note
     that SUSE does not ship ARM Xen, so we are not affected.
   - CVE-2018-15468: The DEBUGCTL MSR contains several debugging features,
     some of which virtualise cleanly, but some do not. In particular, Branch
     Trace Store is not virtualised by the processor, and software has to be
     careful to configure it suitably not to lock up the core. As a result,
     it must only be available to fully trusted guests. Unfortunately, in the
     case that vPMU is disabled, all value checking was skipped, allowing the
     guest to choose any MSR_DEBUGCTL setting it likes. A malicious or buggy
     guest administrator (on Intel x86 HVM or PVH) can lock up the entire
     host, causing a Denial of Service. (XSA-269) (bsc#1103276)
   - CVE-2018-3646: Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative
     execution and address translations may have allowed unauthorized
     disclosure of information residing in the L1 data cache to an attacker
     with local user access with guest OS privilege via a terminal page fault
     and a side-channel analysis. (XSA-273) (bsc#1091107)

   Non security issues fixed:

   - The affinity reporting via 'xl vcpu-list' was broken (bsc#1106263)
   - Kernel oops in fs/dcache.c called by d_materialise_unique() (bsc#1094508)
