According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability. This may allow an attacker on the guest to cause a denial of service or gain elevated privileges on the host.

Note that Nessus has checked the changeset versions based on the xen.git change log. Nessus did not check guest hardware configurations or if patches were applied manually to the source code before a recompile and reinstall.
