Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: qemu-kvm-rhev security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Notes

Topic
An update for qemu-kvm-rhev is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9.0 (Mitaka). Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
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 Virtualization Manager. The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: qemu-kvm-rhev (2.6.0). (BZ#1386385) Security Fix(es): * An out-of-bounds flaw was found in the QEMU emulator built using 'address_space_translate' to map an address to a MemoryRegionSection. The flaw could occur while doing pci_dma_read/write calls, resulting in an out-of-bounds read-write access error. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the guest instance (denial of service). (CVE-2015-8817, CVE-2015-8818) Red Hat would like to thank Donghai Zdh of Alibaba Inc. for reporting this issue.
