** Description changed:

- [I/O port access privilege escalation in x86-64 Linux]
+ The __switch_to function in arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c in the Linux
+ kernel does not properly context-switch IOPL on 64-bit PV Xen guests,
+ which allows guest local OS users to gain privileges, cause a denial of
+ service (guest OS crash), or obtain sensitive information by leveraging
+ I/O port access.
  
  Break-Fix: - b7a584598aea7ca73140cb87b40319944dd3393f
