(XSA-279) (bsc#1115045) - CVE-2018-19966: Fixed an issue related to a previous fix for XSA-240, which conflicted with shadow paging and allowed a guest to cause Xen to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) (XSA-280) (bsc#1115047) - CVE-2018-19967: Fixed HLE constructs that allowed guests to lock up the host, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (XSA-282) (bsc#1114988) - CVE-2018-19964: Fixed the incorrect error handling of p2m page removals, which allowed a guest to cause a deadlock, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host. (XSA-277) (bsc#1115044) - CVE-2018-19665: Fixed an integer overflow resulting in memory corruption in various Bluetooth functions, allowing this to crash qemu process resulting in Denial of Service (DoS).
