KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. The qemu-kvm-rhev package provides the
user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM, in
environments managed by Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.

It was found that the Cirrus blit region checks were insufficient.
A privileged guest user could use this flaw to write outside of
VRAM-allocated buffer boundaries in the host's QEMU process address space
with attacker-provided data. (CVE-2014-8106)

This issue was found by Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat.

All users of qemu-kvm-rhev are advised to upgrade to these updated

virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this update to take
