Fedora 23: 2015-13358 Critical: QEMU Buffer Overflow and DoS

QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good

emulation speed by using dynamic translation. QEMU has two operating modes:

* Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for

example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be

used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or

to debug system code.

* User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled

for one CPU on another CPU.

As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is safe and easy to use.

* Rebased to version 2.4.0 * Support for virtio-gpu, 2D only * Support for virtio-based keyboard/mouse/tablet emulation * x86 support for memory hot-unplug * ACPI v5.1 table support for 'virt' board * CVE-2015-3209: pcnet: multi-tmd buffer overflow in the tx path (bz #1230536) * CVE-2015-3214: i8254: out-of-bounds memory access (bz #1243728) * CVE-2015-5158: scsi stack buffer overflow (bz #1246025) * CVE-2015-5154: ide: atapi: heap overflow during I/O buffer memory access (bz #1247141) * CVE-2015-5165: rtl8139 uninitialized heap memory information leakage to guest (bz #1249755) * CVE-2015-5166: BlockBackend object use after free issue (bz #1249758) * CVE-2015-5745: buffer overflow in virtio- serial (bz #1251160)
