What happened
Xen is software that runs several virtual computers on one physical server. Two flaws in it let a malicious virtual machine read and write the memory of other virtual machines on the same host, including the main controlling one. Patches are available, and the Xen Project says there is no known workaround.

What to do
- Apply the patches from the Xen Project advisory to Xen hosts.
- Check whether any hypervisors in use run Xen 4.6 or later, since all those versions are affected.
