Motivation for this change

We were way behind on the Xen Security Advisory patches.
Also, since a lot of them are reused, I moved them into a separate file.
I even prepared the XSAs for 4.9 but have not added the actual build for it.
Updated 4.8.x in the process.

Fixes #30745

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Thanks a lot @NeQuissimus 👍

Some comments:

  • We might not need XSA-233, because we are using oxenstored
  • Similarly, XSA-235 and XSA-245 seem to only affect ARM

It's probably a good idea to apply them anyway. What would you say @grahamc?
