Debian: DSA-2396-1: qemu-kvm security update
Summary
Nicolae Mogoraenu discovered a heap overflow in the emulated e1000e
network interface card of KVM, a solution for full virtualization on
x86 hardware, which could result in denial of service or privilege
escalation.
This update also fixes a guest-triggerable memory corruption in
VNC handling.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze8.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0+dfsg-5.
We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
