CVE-2017-10913  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.5 xen to version 4.7.3-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen package and not the xen package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The grant-table feature in Xen through 4.8.x provides false mapping information in certain cases of concurrent unmap calls, which allows backend attackers to obtain sensitive information or gain privileges, aka XSA-218 bug 1.
