Re: [Xen-users] [Xen-devel] Security patches



Hi Ian,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to bother you with this. I am bit confused and so I am asking to make clear myself.

Reg CVE-2012-2934 - http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2012-06/msg00002.html Is Xen 3.4 too affected with this vulnerable? If so I couldn't find the patch for xen 3.4 and it does exit for xen 4.x only.

I don't how to apply the following patches since I have created rpm with patches applied that included as downloadable file. But for these patches I am not seeing any downloadable file.

http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-02/msg00212.html
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-07/msg01649.html
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-08/msg00855.html

If you can clear this for me that would be great :)

I hope that I am replying in correct way.

It looks to me like there are changeset references and/or patches for
all of these in the advisories. You might find it easier to follow:
        http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Security_Announcements

You can also always look in the appropriate xen-X.Y-testing.hg tree for
the fix.

This is quite clearly explained in the advisory.

Yes, it looks like this effects 3.4 too.

The advisory says "Xen-unstable, including Xen 4.2 release candidates
are vulnerable to this issue.", so yes, obviously.

In the future please carefully read the advisories before asking lots of
questions, almost everything you have asked is addressed in the advisory
texts AFAICT.

Ian.
