Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-4993, CVE-2007-1320
Debian Bug     : 444430, 444007

Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor packages which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-4993    By use of a specially crafted grub configuration file a domU user   may be able to execute arbitary code upon the dom0 when pygrub is   being used.

CVE-2007-1320    Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the Cirrus VGA extension,   provided by QEMU, may allow local users to execute arbitrary code   via "bitblt" heap overflow.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.3-0-3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your xen-utils package.
