** Description changed:

- The Xen netback implementation contains a couple of flaws which can
- allow a guest to cause a DoS in the backend domain, potentially
- affecting other domains in the system. CVE-2013-0216 is a failure to
- sanity check the ring producer/consumer pointers which can allow a guest
- to cause netback to loop for an extended period preventing other work
- from occurring.
+ The Xen netback functionality in the Linux kernel before 3.7.8 allows
+ guest OS users to cause a denial of service (loop) by triggering ring
+ pointer corruption.

  Break-Fix: - 48856286b64e4b66ec62b94e504d0b29c1ade664
