Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm package provides the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM.
Security Fix(es):
* Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with Network Block Device (NBD) Server
support was vulnerable to a null-pointer dereference issue. The flaw could
occur when releasing a client, which was not initialized due to failed
negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit this flaw to crash the
qemu-nbd server (denial of service). (CVE-2017-9524)
