Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated xen packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 Extended Update Support.
Description
Xen is a high-performance and secure open-source virtualization framework. The
virtualization allows users to run guest operating systems in virtual machines
on top of a host operating system.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 introduced an optimized migration handling that
speeds up migration of guests with large memory. However, the new migration
procedure can theoretically cause data corruption. While no cases were observed
in practice, with this update, the xend daemon properly waits for correct device
release before the guest is started on a destination machine, thus fixing this
bug. (BZ#743849)
Users of xen are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug. Note that after installation, xend must be restarted for this update to
take effect.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
