RHBA-2009:0401 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
xen bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated Xen packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
Xen is a high performance and secure open source virtualization framework.
Virtualization allows users to run guest operating systems in virtual
machines on top of a host operating system.
Bugs fixed in these updated packages include:
- Data corruption occurred on guests with virtual SCSI disks larger than
1TB. This update adds support for virtual disks larger than 1TB.
- Various SCSI device data corruption issues occurred on fully virtualized
guests with over 4GB of RAM. This update resolves the data corruption
issues on fully virtualized guests with over 4GB of RAM.
- The Xen SCSI driver scsi_write_data() system call did not verify data if
was written before returning. The SCSI driver now flushes the buffer before
it returns which ensures data is written to the disk.
Users of Xen are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
