Examine the latest security patches for QEMU within Fedora 24, focusing on urgent memory leakage vulnerabilities across multiple areas.
* CVE-2017-5525: audio: memory leakage in ac97 (bz #1414110) * CVE-2017-5526: audio: memory leakage in es1370 (bz #1414210) * CVE-2016-10155 watchdog: memory leakage in i6300esb (b...

Summary

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.

Update Information:

* CVE-2017-5525: audio: memory leakage in ac97 (bz #1414110) * CVE-2017-5526: audio: memory leakage in es1370 (bz #1414210) * CVE-2016-10155 watchdog: memory leakage in i6300esb (bz #1415200) * CVE-2017-5552: virtio-gpu-3d: memory leakage (bz #1415283) * CVE-2017-5667: sd: sdhci OOB access during multi block transfer (bz #1417560) * CVE-2017-5857: virtio-gpu-3d: host memory leakage in virgl_cmd_resource_unref (bz #1418383) * CVE-2017-5856: scsi: megasas: memory leakage (bz #1418344) * CVE-2017-5898: usb: integer overflow in emulated_apdu_from_guest (bz #1419700) * CVE-2017-5987: sd: infinite loop issue in multi block transfers (bz #1422001) * CVE-2017-6505: usb: an infinite loop issue in ohci_service_ed_list (bz #1429434) * CVE-2017-2615: cirrus: oob access while doing bitblt copy backward (bz #1418206) * CVE-2017-2620: cirrus: potential arbitrary code execution (bz #1425419)
