Title:RHSA-2018:2462: qemu-kvm security and bug fix update (Important)
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):

  • QEMU: slirp: heap buffer overflow while reassembling fragmented datagrams (CVE-2018-11806)

  • QEMU: i386: multiboot OOB access while loading kernel image (CVE-2018-7550)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    Red Hat would like to thank Jskz - Zero Day Initiative (trendmicro.com) for reporting CVE-2018-11806 and Cyrille Chatras (Orange.com) and CERT-CC (Orange.com) for reporting CVE-2018-7550.

    Bug Fix(es):

  • Previously, live migrating a Windows guest in some cases caused the guest to become unresponsive. This update ensures that Real-time Clock (RTC) interrupts are not missed, which prevents the problem from occurring. (BZ#1596302)
