used to denial of service attacks or potential code execution against

the host. (CVE-2015-3456)

- Xen did not initialize certain fields, which allowed certain remote

service domains to obtain sensitive information from memory via a (1)

XEN_DOMCTL_gettscinfo or (2) XEN_SYSCTL_getdomaininfolist request.

(CVE-2015-3340)
