Debian: DSA-2270-1: qemu-kvm security update
Summary
It was discovered that incorrect sanitising of virtio queue commands in
KVM, a solution for full virtualization on x86 hardware, could lead to
denial of service of the execution of arbitrary code.
The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this problem.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze4.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.14.1+dfsg-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
