CVE-2015-5239
Lian Yihan discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain payload messages in the VNC display driver. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause the QEMU process to hang, resulting in a denial of service.
CVE-2016-2857
Ling Liu discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled IP checksum routines. An attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly leak host memory bytes.
CVE-2016-4020
Donghai Zdh discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Task Priority Register(TPR). A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to possibly leak host memory bytes.
CVE-2016-4439, CVE-2016-6351
Li Qiang disovered that the emulation of the 53C9X Fast SCSI Controller is affected by out of bound access issues.
CVE-2016-5403
Zhenhao Hong discovered that a malicious guest administrator can cause unbounded memory allocation in QEMU (which can cause an Out-of-Memory condition) by submitting virtio requests without bothering to wait for completion.
For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.2 dfsg-6 deb7u14.
We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
