Description:
Updated x11-driver-video-qxl package fixes security vulnerability:

A flaw was found in the way the host's qemu-kvm qxl driver and the guest's
X.Org qxl driver interacted when a SPICE connection terminated. A user
able to initiate a SPICE connection to a guest could use this flaw to make
the guest temporarily unavailable or, potentially (if the sysctl
kernel.softlockup_panic variable was set to "1" in the guest), crash the
guest (CVE-2013-0241).
