Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: qemu-kvm security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:2585-02
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2585.html
Issue date: 2016-11-03
CVE Names: CVE-2016-1981 CVE-2016-3712
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for qemu-kvm is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client (v. 7) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional (v. 7) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7) - x86_64
3. Description:
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. The qemu-kvm packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines using 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)
* An infinite loop flaw was found in the way QEMU's e1000 NIC emulation
implementation processed data using transmit or receive descriptors under
certain conditions. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to
crash the QEMU instance. (CVE-2016-1981)
Red Hat would like to thank Zuozhi Fzz (Alibaba Inc.) for reporting
CVE-2016-3712.
Additional Changes:
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section.
4. Solution:
