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 a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm package provides the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM.
Security Fix(es):
* An out-of-bounds memory access issue was found in Quick Emulator (QEMU)
in the VNC display driver. This flaw could occur while refreshing the VNC
display surface area in the 'vnc_refresh_server_surface'. A user inside a
guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process. (CVE-2017-2633)
* An integer overflow flaw was found in Quick Emulator (QEMU) in the CCID
Card device support. The flaw could occur while passing messages via
command/response packets to and from the host. A privileged user inside a
guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process. (CVE-2017-5898)
* An information exposure flaw was found in Quick Emulator (QEMU) in Task
Priority Register (TPR) optimizations for 32-bit Windows guests. The flaw
could occur while accessing TPR. A privileged user inside a guest could use
this issue to read portions of the host memory. (CVE-2016-4020)
Red Hat would like to thank Li Qiang (360.cn Inc.) for reporting
CVE-2017-5898 and Donghai Zdh (Alibaba Inc.) for reporting CVE-2016-4020.
