Some key patches neeed to be applied to new server installations, in particular for CVS-2012-0217. For these no updated XCP packages are available (yet), but fortunately the patches publicly published for XenServer 6.0 ('''not''' 6.0.2) fit perfectly into a XCP1.5 (1.4.90) configuration, updating xapi-core-0.2 to release 3999. The actual xapi-core RPM can easily be extracted from the xsupdate file at [http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133165 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133165]. To apply this patch to a host, the script "apply.sh" to get to XS60E013 is available inside Nikhef at http://stal.nikhef.nl/mirror/XenServer/XCP15/patch-XS60E013/. download to the newly installed node and execute apply.sh:
