The plan is that interfaces will not change for the whole 2.x series, so I think it should work without rebuilding Xen. Of course, the Xen in -testing will contain some fixes + features itself... ;-) > d) I realize that Xen is really still R&D for the most part, but how do > the Xen team feel about security issues like this? Security of Xen itself and the XenLinux patch are extremely important to us. Ensuring that people can use an up-to-date mainline kernel (which may incorporate security fixes) is also quite a high priority. The actual patches to fix generic Linux vulnerabilities are left to mainline developers or distributors, however.
