Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2015-07-01 11:09:41 UTC
CVE-2015-2151 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-2151):
  The x86 emulator in Xen 3.2.x through 4.5.x does not properly ignore segment
  overrides for instructions with register operands, which allows local guest
  users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (memory
  corruption), or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
