Synopsis: Important: qemu-kvm security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0987-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:0987
Issue date: 2017-04-18
CVE Names: CVE-2016-9603
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for qemu-kvm is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

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 Client (v. 7) – x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional (v. 7) – x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) – ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7) – x86_64

3. Description:

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM.

Security Fix(es):

* A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in QEMU’s Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA
emulator’s VNC display driver support; the issue could occur when a VNC
client attempted to update its display after a VGA operation is performed
by a guest. A privileged user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to
crash the QEMU process or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the host
with privileges of the QEMU process. (CVE-2016-9603)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing this update, shut down all running virtual machines. Once
all virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this update to
take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1430056 – CVE-2016-9603 Qemu: cirrus: heap buffer overflow via vnc connection

=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for qemu-kvm-rhev is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform
10.0 (Newton).

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:

3. Description:

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in
environments managed by Red Hat products.

Security Fix(es):

* Quick Emulator (QEMU), built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator and
the VNC display driver support, is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow
issue. The issue could occur when a VNC client attempts to update its
display after a VGA operation is performed by a guest. A privileged
user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process
resulting in DoS or, potentially, leverage it to execute arbitrary code on
the host with privileges of the QEMU process. (CVE-2016-9603)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:
