Yes, looking through the advisory after it was sent out, I think we definitely should have provided instructions for downstreams for how to actually use the patches. As discussed previously, the entire series should look like: 1) Patch 0001 from the original advisory 2) Patches from XSA 243 3) The "checked into tree" version of xsa240/0002 4) Patch xsa240-*/0003 5) Patch xsa240-*/0004 In other words, you should be able to apply xsa240 patch 4 directly on xsa240 patch 3. Sorry again for the confusion. -George _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
