-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2016-42778e8c82 2016-01-23 22:27:57.582754 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : qemu Product : Fedora 23 Version : 2.4.1 Release : 6.fc23 URL : http://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: * CVE-2015-8745: vmxnet3: don't assert reading registers in bar0 (bz #1295442) * CVE-2015-8567: net: vmxnet3: host memory leakage (bz #1289818) * CVE-2016-1922: i386: avoid null pointer dereference (bz #1292766) * CVE-2015-8613: buffer overflow in megasas_ctrl_get_info (bz #1284008) * CVE-2015-8701: Buffer overflow in tx_consume in rocker.c (bz #1293720) * CVE-2015-8743: ne2000: OOB memory access in ioport r/w functions (bz #1294787) * CVE-2016-1568: Use-after-free vulnerability in ahci (bz #1297023) * Fix modules.d/kvm.conf example syntax (bz #1298823) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1284008 - CVE-2015-8613 Qemu: scsi: stack based buffer overflow in megasas_ctrl_get_info https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1284008 [ 2 ] Bug #1270876 - CVE-2015-8745 Qemu: net: vmxnet3: reading IMR registers leads to a crash via assert(2) call https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1270876 [ 3 ] Bug #1289816 - CVE-2015-8568 CVE-2015-8567 Qemu: net: vmxnet3: host memory leakage https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1289816 [ 4 ] Bug #1283934 - CVE-2016-1922 Qemu: i386: null pointer dereference in vapic_write() https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283934 [ 5 ] Bug #1286971 - CVE-2015-8701 Qemu: net: rocker: stack buffer overflow(off-by-one) in tx_consume routine https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1286971 [ 6 ] Bug #1264929 - CVE-2015-8743 Qemu: net: ne2000: OOB memory access in ioport r/w functions https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1264929 [ 7 ] Bug #1288532 - CVE-2016-1568 Qemu: ide: ahci use-after-free vulnerability in aio port commands https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1288532 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
