Synopsis: USN-2846-1 is not patched with Ksplice

Ksplice will not be providing an update for Xen security advisories 155
and 157.  Fixing XSA-155 requires updates to the hypervisor and qemu
which are not available through Ksplice.  Xen hosts should reboot into
an updated hypervisor, qemu and kernel to protect against this issue,
and live migration may be used to avoid disruption to guests.  Systems
other than Xen Dom0s (i.e.  systems not hosting Xen virtual machines)
are not vulnerable and do not need to be rebooted in order to remain
secure.

Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
