How to fix?

There is no fixed version for xen.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The XEN_DOMCTL_getmemlist hypercall in Xen 3.4.x through 4.3.x (possibly 4.3.1) does not always obtain the page_alloc_lock and mm_rwlock in the same order, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (host deadlock).
