Synopsis: Important: kvm security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0454-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017-0454.html
Issue date: 2017-03-07
CVE Names: CVE-2017-2615 CVE-2017-2620
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for kvm is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. 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.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Multi OS (v. 5 client) – x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization (v. 5 server) – x86_64

3. Description:

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
for Linux on x86 hardware. Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines
running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has
private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.

Security Fix(es):

* Quick emulator (QEMU) built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA emulator
support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. It could occur
while copying VGA data via bitblt copy in backward mode. A privileged user
inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in
DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of
QEMU process on the host. (CVE-2017-2615)

* Quick emulator (QEMU) built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator
support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. The issue could
occur while copying VGA data in cirrus_bitblt_cputovideo. A privileged user
inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process OR potentially
execute arbitrary code on host with privileges of the QEMU process.
(CVE-2017-2620)

Red Hat would like to thank Wjjzhang (Tencent.com Inc.) and Li Qiang
