Hello, Michael.

There is a new update for Xen Security Advisory CVE-2012-5511,CVE-2012-6333 / XSA-27 because the supplied patch for 4.1 was found to contain a bug [1]. Incremental fix can be found at [2].

  [2] http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-01/msg01193.html

Can you please check if it does apply to our xen-4.1.x Fedora updates?

Thank you,

I have added the incremental fix in the xen-4.1.7-3 F16 and F17 builds. I believe the original version of the patch still closed the security hole, but it didn't do all it was supposed to do.

Yes, that was my understanding too, otherwise new CVE and advisory is needed. Thanks Michael!
