ISSUE DESCRIPTION
=================

PCI devices can make use of a functionality called phantom functions,
that when enabled allows the device to generate requests using the IDs
of functions that are otherwise unpopulated.  This allows a device to
extend the number of outstanding requests.

Such phantom functions need an IOMMU context setup, but failure to
setup the context is not fatal when the device is assigned.  Not
failing device assignment when such failure happens can lead to the
primary device being assigned to a guest, while some of the phantom
functions are assigned to a different domain.

IMPACT
======

Under certain circumstances a malicious guest assigned a PCI device
with phantom functions may be able to access memory from a previous
owner of the device.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION
=================

Incorrect placement of a preprocessor directive in source code results
in logic that doesn't operate as intended when support for HVM guests is
compiled out of Xen.

IMPACT
======

When a device is removed from a domain, it is not properly quarantined
and retains its access to the domain to which it was previously
assigned.
