------- Comment #1 from mark...@cl.cam.ac.uk 2007-06-26 18:04 ------- Recent versions of Xen are based on the 2.6.18 kernel, so should not be vulnerable to this. Users of older kernels should probably patch or upgrade in order to safeguard against this. Vendor kernels may already have these patches applied.

I'm closing this bug, but feel free to push back if you feel anything needs to be done.
