"Updated kvm packages that fix one security issue are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the
CVE link in the References section.
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems.
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)
Red Hat would like to thank Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Inc. for
reporting this issue.
All kvm users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Note: The procedure
in the Solution section must be performed before this update will take
effect."
