CVE-2015-6654[0]:
| The xenmem_add_to_physmap_one function in arch/arm/mm.c in Xen 4.5.x,
| 4.4.x, and earlier does not limit the number of printk console
| messages when reporting a failure to retrieve a reference on a foreign
| page, which allows remote domains to cause a denial of service by
| leveraging permissions to map the memory of a foreign guest.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
