At some point you will have to read through the advisories as some are 
only for specific versions and some are fixes to xen code in the kernel 
but you can narrow the process down by seeing when xen-4.2.1 (or 
xen-4.1.2) was released as it would contain all relevant security fixes up 
to that point. The source repositories would give you the exact order.
If you want to start from a clean slate, 4.1.5 and 4.2.2 look like they 
will come out soon, so you would just need to watch for new security 
updates after that point to keep them secure.
