Upstream information

CVE-2015-2151 at MITRE

Description

The x86 emulator in Xen 3.2.x through 4.5.x does not properly ignore segment overrides for instructions with register operands, which allows local guest users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Note from the SUSE Security Team on the xen package
