Description
The (1) libxl_set_memory_target function in tools/libxl/libxl.c and (2) libxl__build_post function in tools/libxl/libxl_dom.c in Xen 3.4.x through 4.6.x do not properly calculate the balloon size when using the populate-on-demand (PoD) system, which allows local HVM guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) via unspecified vectors related to "heavy memory pressure."SUSE information

Note from the SUSE Security Team
The Xen packages in SUSE Linux Enterprise are affected by XSA-150 and XSA-153 related to a DoS when the populate-on-demand option is used. Confirmed source patches were not available in time for the scheduled update. A further update to Xen will contain these fixes.Note from the SUSE Security Team on the xen package
This issue likely only affects the XEN hypervisor itself, unless otherwise stated. The userland utilities in -tools and libraries in -libs are shipped together with the xen hypervisor as they are built from one source and do not contain hypervisor specific fixes.
