All patches acquired and runtested which includes xsa142-4.5.patch for xen-tools and xsa141.patch for xen.
xsa142-4.6.patch is found to already be incorporated in the version xen-4.6.0.

Patches I hace concatenated into 2 files, however dlan assures he will packge and upload them tomorrow. Considering no urgency, holding off committing until he packages them.

Thiswas done several days ago now

[Comment 9 Tomoatsu Shimada 2016-02-02 06:00:27 UTC]

Please forgive me if this is wrong place to discuss about this matter, but I wonder if dropping xen 4.2 has been intentionally done knowing that  it's the only version of xen which still supports x86-32 architecture.

This security bug is not the place to discuss it as you correctly mention; but the quick answer is I'm aware of discussions amongst Xen members on that topic so it was done with an awareness of that.

[Comment 11 Tomoatsu Shimada 2016-02-02 12:31:35 UTC]

Your valuable answer encouraged me to abandon x86-32 architecture,  thanks a lot!

[Comment 12 Yury German 2016-02-25 08:28:45 UTC]

Maintainer(s), Thank you for your work.
