Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'xen' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Insight
Insight
The xen packages contain administration tools and the xend service for managing the kernel-xen kernel for virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A flaw was found in the way the pyGrub boot loader handled compressed kernel images. A privileged guest user in a para-virtualized guest (a DomU) could use this flaw to create a crafted kernel image that, when attempting to boot it, could result in an out-of-memory condition in the privileged domain (the Dom0). (CVE-2012-2625) Red Hat would like to thank Xinli Niu for reporting this issue. All users of xen are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, the xend service must be restarted for this update to take effect.
