1. Summary:
An update for qemu-kvm-rhev is now available for RHEV 3.X Hypervisor and
Agents for RHEL-7 and RHEV 4.X RHEV-H and Agents for RHEL-7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

3. Description:
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in
environments managed by Red Hat products.
Security Fix(es):
* An assertion-failure flaw was found in the Network Block Device (NBD)
server's initial connection negotiation, where the I/O co-routine was
undefined. This could crash the qemu-nbd server if a client sent unexpected
data during connection negotiation. A remote user or process could use this
flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server resulting in denial of service.
(CVE-2017-7539)
4. Solution:
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
After installing this update, shut down all running virtual machines. Once
all virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this update to
take effect.
