xen: stack corruption from XSA-346 change (XSA-355)
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service (stack corruption), cause a data leak, or possibly gain privileges because of an off-by-one error. NOTE: this issue is caused by an incorrect fix for CVE-2020-27671.
An off-by-one flaw was found in one of the two patches for CVE-2020-27671 (XSA-346). This flaw allows malicious x86 HVM and PVH guests to cause host data corruption and data leaks, resulting in a denial of service or potential privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity as well as system availability.
Mitigation: Avoid passing through physical devices to untrusted guests.

xen: undue deferral of IOMMU TLB flushes (XSA-346)
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x allowing x86 HVM and PVH guest OS users to cause a denial of service (data corruption), cause a data leak, or possibly gain privileges because coalescing of per-page IOMMU TLB flushes is mishandled.
A flaw was found to occur in the Xen optimization to coalesce per-page IOMMU TLB flushes. This flaw allows malicious x86 HVM and PVH guests to cause host data corruption and data leaks, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) or potential privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
Statement: All Xen versions from 4.2 onwards are vulnerable. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is not affected by this flaw, as it shippe
