CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2017:0454

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)
