Title:RHSA-2022:5821: virt:rhel and virt-devel:rhel security, bug fix, and enhancement update (Moderate)
Description:Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offers a full virtualization solution for Linux on numerous hardware platforms. The virt:rhel module contains packages which provide user-space components used to run virtual machines using KVM. The packages also provide APIs for managing and interacting with the virtualized systems.

Security Fix(es):

  • QEMU: QXL: integer overflow in cursor_alloc() can lead to heap buffer overflow (CVE-2021-4206)

  • QEMU: QXL: double fetch in qxl_cursor() can lead to heap buffer overflow (CVE-2021-4207)

  • QEMU: virtio-net: map leaking on error during receive (CVE-2022-26353)

  • QEMU: vhost-vsock: missing virtqueue detach on error can lead to memory leak (CVE-2022-26354)
