CVE-2017-10913  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 xen to version 4.6.5-0ubuntu1.2 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 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.
