xen was updated to version 4.7.1 to fix 17 security issues. These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-9637: ioport array overflow allowing a     malicious guest administrator can escalate their     privilege to that of the host (bsc#1011652).

  - CVE-2016-9386: x86 null segments were not always treated     as unusable allowing an unprivileged guest user program     to elevate its privilege to that of the guest operating     system. Exploit of this vulnerability is easy on Intel     and more complicated on AMD (bsc#1009100).

  - CVE-2016-9382: x86 task switch to VM86 mode was     mis-handled, allowing a unprivileged guest process to     escalate its privilege to that of the guest operating     system on AMD hardware. On Intel hardware a malicious     unprivileged guest process can crash the guest     (bsc#1009103).

  - CVE-2016-9385: x86 segment base write emulation lacked     canonical address checks, allowing a malicious guest     administrator to crash the host (bsc#1009104).

  - CVE-2016-9384: Guest 32-bit ELF symbol table load     leaking host data to unprivileged guest users     (bsc#1009105).

  - CVE-2016-9383: The x86 64-bit bit test instruction     emulation was broken, allowing a guest to modify     arbitrary memory leading to arbitray code execution     (bsc#1009107).

  - CVE-2016-9377: x86 software interrupt injection was     mis-handled, allowing an unprivileged guest user to     crash the guest (bsc#1009108).

  - CVE-2016-9378: x86 software interrupt injection was     mis-handled, allowing an unprivileged guest user to     crash the guest (bsc#1009108)

  - CVE-2016-9381: Improper processing of shared rings     allowing guest administrators take over the qemu     process, elevating their privilege to that of the qemu     process (bsc#1009109).

  - CVE-2016-9379: Delimiter injection vulnerabilities in     pygrub allowed guest administrators to obtain the     contents of sensitive host files or delete the files     (bsc#1009111).

  - CVE-2016-9380: Delimiter injection vulnerabilities in     pygrub allowed guest administrators to obtain the     contents of sensitive host files or delete the files     (bsc#1009111).

  - CVE-2016-7777: Xen did not properly honor CR0.TS and     CR0.EM, which allowed local x86 HVM guest OS users to     read or modify FPU, MMX, or XMM register state     information belonging to arbitrary tasks on the guest by     modifying an instruction while the hypervisor is     preparing to emulate it (bsc#1000106).

  - CVE-2016-8910: The rtl8139_cplus_transmit function in     hw/net/rtl8139.c allowed local guest OS administrators     to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU     consumption) by leveraging failure to limit the ring     descriptor count (bsc#1007157).

  - CVE-2016-8667: The rc4030_write function in     hw/dma/rc4030.c in allowed local guest OS administrators     to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and     QEMU process crash) via a large interval timer reload     value (bsc#1005004).

  - CVE-2016-8669: The serial_update_parameters function in     hw/char/serial.c allowed local guest OS administrators     to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and     QEMU process crash) via vectors involving a value of     divider greater than baud base (bsc#1005005).

  - CVE-2016-7908: The mcf_fec_do_tx function in     hw/net/mcf_fec.c did not properly limit the buffer     descriptor count when transmitting packets, which     allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial     of service (infinite loop and QEMU process crash) via     vectors involving a buffer descriptor with a length of 0     and crafted values in bd.flags (bsc#1003030).

  - CVE-2016-7909: The pcnet_rdra_addr function in     hw/net/pcnet.c allowed local guest OS administrators to     cause a denial of service (infinite loop and QEMU     process crash) by setting the (1) receive or (2)     transmit descriptor ring length to 0 (bsc#1003032).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.
