Folks,

I am pleased to announce the release of Xen 4.0.4 and 4.1.3. These are
available immediately from their respective mercurial repositories:
http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg (tag RELEASE-4.0.4)
http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.1-testing.hg (tag RELEASE-4.1.3)

These fix the following critical vulnerabilities:
 * CVE-2012-0217 / XSA-7:
    PV guest privilege escalation vulnerability
 * CVE-2012-0218 / XSA-8:
    guest denial of service on syscall/sysenter exception generation
 * CVE-2012-2934 / XSA-9:
    PV guest host Denial of Service

    HVM guest user mode MMIO emulation DoS vulnerability
 * CVE-2012-3433 / XSA-11:

We recommend all users of the 4.0 and 4.1 stable series to update to these
latest point releases.

Among many bug fixes and improvements (over 100 since Xen 4.1.2):
 * Updates for the latest Intel/AMD CPU revisions
 * Bug fixes and improvements to the libxl tool stack
 * Bug fixes for IOMMU handling (device passthrough to HVM guests)

 Regards,
 Keir
