[kernel-xen] CVE-2015-0235 / RHSA-2015:0092

[Steven Haigh]

As an FYI - Not Xen specific - but nasty enough that everyone should be
aware of this...

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in __nss_hostname_digits_dots(),
which is used by the gethostbyname() and gethostbyname2() glibc function
call. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitary code
with the permissions of the user running the application.
