* User interface freezes when entering space character in Xfig (bz #1151253) * CVE-2015-4037: insecure temporary file use in /net/slirp.c (bz #1222894) * Backport {Haswell,Broadwell}-noTSX cpu models (bz #1213053). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2015-9599 2015-06-07 09:00:34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : qemu Product : Fedora 21 Version : 2.1.3 Release : 8.fc21 URL : https://www.qemu.org/ Summary : QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator Description : 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: * User interface freezes when entering space character in Xfig (bz #1151253) * CVE-2015-4037: insecure temporary file use in /net/slirp.c (bz #1222894) * Backport {Haswell,Broadwell}-noTSX cpu models (bz #1213053) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Jun 5 2015 Cole Robinson - 2:2.1.3-8 - User interface freezes when entering space character in Xfig (bz #1151253) - CVE-2015-4037: insecure temporary file use in /net/slirp.c (bz #1222894) - Backport {Haswell,Broadwell}-noTSX cpu models (bz #1213053) * Wed May 13 2015 Cole Robinson - 2:2.1.3-7 - CVE-2015-3456: (VENOM) fdc: out-of-bounds fifo buffer memory access (bz * Tue Apr 14 2015 Haïkel Guémar -2:2.1.3-6 - Reintroduce upstream patch fixing some qemu-img conversion errors (RHBZ#1200043) * Thu Apr 2 2015 Cole Robinson - 2:2.1.3-5 - CVE-2015-1779 vnc: insufficient resource limiting in VNC websockets decoder (bz #1205051, bz #1199572) * Fri Mar 27 2015 Cole Robinson - 2:2.1.3-4 - Qemu: PRDT overflow from guest to host (bz #1204919, bz #1205322) - CVE-2014-8106: cirrus: insufficient blit region checks (bz #1170612, bz - Fix .vdi disk corruption (bz #1199400) - Don't install ksm services as executable (bz #1192720) * Tue Mar 10 2015 Haïkel Guémar - 2:2.1.3-3 - Backport upstream patch fixing some qemu-img conversion errors (RHBZ#1200043) * Sat Feb 7 2015 Cole Robinson - 2:2.1.3-2 - Fix USB host assignment (bz #1187749) * Wed Jan 28 2015 Cole Robinson - 2:2.1.3-1 - Rebased to version 2.1.3 * Wed Jan 28 2015 Daniel P.
