RedHat: RHSA-2018-0816:01 Low: qemu-kvm security, bug fix,
Summary
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM.
Security Fix(es):
* Qemu: vga: OOB read access during display update (CVE-2017-13672)
* Qemu: Slirp: use-after-free when sending response (CVE-2017-13711)
* Qemu: memory exhaustion through framebuffer update request message in VNC
server (CVE-2017-15124)
* Qemu: I/O: potential memory exhaustion via websock connection to VNC
(CVE-2017-15268)
* Qemu: Out-of-bounds read in vga_draw_text routine (CVE-2018-5683)
