Some weeks ago we discovered that Xen before 4.4.0-1 is embedding a
copy of QEMU 0.10.2. Xen has version 4.1.4 in wheezy, so it is
potentially vulnerable to all security issues affecting QEMU in the
last years (160 CVEs involved).
I have triaged ~100 of them until now. ~20 are actually affecting Xen.
Also, some of these CVEs already have a DLA since they've already
been fixed in qemu/qemu-kvm. However, if you look closely, they are
still affecting Xen.
Cheers,
Hugo
