| Title: | RHSA-2017:0621: qemu-kvm security and bug fix update (Moderate) |
| Description: | Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM.
Security Fix(es):
An integer overflow flaw and an out-of-bounds read flaw were found in the way QEMU's VGA emulator set certain VGA registers while in VBE mode. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process instance. (CVE-2016-3712)
Red Hat would like to thank Zuozhi Fzz (Alibaba Inc.) for reporting this issue.
