"According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on
the remote host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability due to
improper bounds checking for descriptor table accesses. An authenticated
attacker, in user mode on a 32-bit guest, could leverage this vulnerability to
elevate privileges to that of the guest kernel. Only 32-bit PV guest user mode
can leverage this vulnerability.

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.");
