CVE-2013-1964 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-1964):
  Xen 4.0.x and 4.1.x incorrectly releases a grant reference when releasing a
  non-v1, non-transitive grant, which allows local guest administrators to
  cause a denial of service (host crash), obtain sensitive information, or
  possible have other impacts via unspecified vectors.


This one never made it into a bug, but has been fixed with other stabilizations. Will be resolved with next Xen GLSA release.
