+From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
+Subject: x86/HVM: prefill partially used variable on emulation paths
+
+Certain handlers ignore the access size (vioapic_write() being the
+example this was found with), perhaps leading to subsequent reads
+seeing data that wasn't actually written by the guest. For
+consistency and extra safety also do this on the read path of
+hvm_process_io_intercept(), even if this doesn't directly affect what
+guests get to see, as we've supposedly already dealt with read handlers
+leaving data completely unitialized.
+
+This is XSA-239.
