similar to: xen 4.11

Xen 4.4.4 along with kernel 4.9.44 containing patches for XSAs (226 - 230) from August 15th are now available in centos-virt-testing. If possible, please test and provide feedback here so we can move these to release soon. XSA-228 did not affect Xen 4.4 XSA-229 only applies to the kernel XSA-235 disclosed today only affects ARM and isn't going to be added to these packages. Thanks. --

Hello, Are XSA-289 and XSA-274/CVE-2018-14678 fixed with Xen recent 4.8, 4.10 and kernel 4.9.177 packages ? Thank you

Hi, I am very sorry to do this on short notice, but obviously Meltdown and Spectre are a lot more than anyone was really expecting to come down the pipeline. Xen 4.4 has been EOL upstream for about a year now and I have personally been reviewing and backporting patches based on the 4.5 versions made available upstream. Given that 4.5 is now also reaching EOL, backporting to 4.4 will become

Hey all, This mail has been a long time in coming, but with the upcoming expiration of security support for Xen 4.8, it's time to start thinking about what our update policy will be for the Xen packages in general. Citrix is committed to officially supporting one Xen version at a time through the CentOS Virt SIG. (Others in the community are welcome to support others.) But we'd like

Kevin has been rolling back the security updates to the 4.4 branch. He has been working with some of the other distros (debian for sure, and some others on the xen security list). I think it is his intention to continue this for as long as he is able to. (Kevin, chime in if you have a schedule lifetime or EOL in mind) As long as Kevin (or anyone else) maintains the tree, I am happy to build

it is working thx a lot... but it has included the GenuineIntel.bin only in actually used kernel... do I need to reinstall microcode_ctl every time I update the kernel?

There are xen rpms in the testing repos for XSA 207 and 208 in the testing repos (xen-4.4.4-18.el6, xen-4.6.3-7.el6, xen-4.6.3-7.el7). You can enable the applicable centos-virt-xen-testing repo in your /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Xen.repo file. Please report positive and negative tests to this list so we can promote the updates to the main repos. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part
