Advisory ID:       SLSA-2015:2065-1
Issue Date:        2015-11-16
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2015-5279
--

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the way QEMU's NE2000 NIC
emulation implementation handled certain packets received over the
network. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the
QEMU instance (denial of service) or potentially execute arbitrary code on
the host. (CVE-2015-5279)

After installing the updated packages, all running fully-virtualized
guests must be restarted for this update to take effect.
