OK .. supposedly, this patch fixes the issue:

I presume this addresses CVE-2016-0728?

OK Guys and Gals, We have just kicked off a build of the 4.9.34-29 xen kernel on the Community Build Service for both EL6 and EL7. This kernel has some important things in it. 1. It has a patch for the stack guard issue (CVE-2017-1000364). Also the patch for Xen Security fix XSA-216. See these upstream changelogs for ALL kernel commits from 4.9.31 to 4.9.34:

I've been running 3.18.25-18.el6.x86_64 + our build of xen 4.4.3-9 on one host for the last couple of weeks and have gotten several soft lockups within the last 24 hours. I am posting here first in case anyone else has experienced the same issue. Here is the first instance: sched: RT throttling activated NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!

George has built and I have pushed to virt6-xen-common-testing and virt7-xen-common-testing the kernel-3.18.25-19 kernel. Please test this kernel and we can release it. It also has the fix for XSA-171: http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-171.html Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I tried this new kernel on out xen testbed with centos 6 and iscsi over qlog 57810 is not working, tried replacing drivers from manufacturer but does not work either. tried 4.9.23 from repo and is not working finally the old 4.9.13-22.el6.x86_64 is the only one from 4.9.x taht is working with hw iscsi on this cards. I will be happy to help debug the issue and get a latest kernel working

Thanks to work from Johnny, linux 3.18.12 with all the x4c blktap goodness have been built and are now in the virt6-testing repo. I've also uploaded libvirt 1.2.15. As you may have seen earlier today, virt6-testing also includes an updated 4.4.2 package with the latest security update (XSA-133). The kernel has had some basic testing (by myself, Johnny, and another community member), but

So first of all, if you've used the CBS before, please note the name change -- it's no longer virt6-testing, but virt6-xen-44-testing. Easiest way to install: rpm -ivh http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-xen-44-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-xen-7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm This will set up yum repositories for both the eventual release repositories (enabled by default), and the

I've got Xen 4.4.2 in virt6-testing. I haven't had a chance to test it, and won't for another week or two; but if some volunteers can put it through its paces, I can ask Johnny to push it to the public repo sometome early next week. Thanks, -George

At long last, I've got some beta CentOS 6 4.4.1 packages up on the CBS. Major updates include: * Update to Xen 4.4.1. Also includes all XSAs through 114 * Update to latest blktap 2.5 * Updated libvirt packages (1.2.10), which work well with libxl To use, add the following to a file in /etc/yum.repos.d: [virt-testing] name=CentOS-$releasever - virt-testing

I have signed and pushed the libvirt-1.2.15-3 and kenel-3.18.12-11 RPMs into the xen4 repository for CentOS-6.6. These have been in virt6-testing for a few months now with no negative reports. They should be available on mirror.centos.org in 30 or so minutes and externally as those mirrors update themselves against mirror. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A
