Descriptions

libxl in Xen 4.1.x through 4.6.x does not properly handle the readonly flag on disks when using the qemu-xen device model, which allows local guest users to write to a read-only disk image.

libxl en Xen 4.1.x hasta la versión 4.6.x no maneja correctamente el indicador de solo lectura en los discos cuando se utiliza el dispositivo modelo qemu-xen, lo que permite a usuarios invitados locales escribir a una imagen de disco de sólo lectura.

Multiple security issues have been found in the Xen virtualisation solution, which may result in denial of service or information disclosure.
