CVE-2009-3525 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-3525):
  The pyGrub boot loader in Xen 3.0.3, 3.3.0, and Xen-3.3.1 does not
  support the password option in grub.conf for para-virtualized guests,
  which allows attackers with access to the para-virtualized guest
  console to boot the guest or modify the guest's kernel boot
  parameters without providing the expected password.
