"Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in qemu-kvm :

CVE-2016-9911

qemu-kvm built with the USB EHCI Emulation support is vulnerable to a
memory leakage issue. It could occur while processing packet data in
'ehci_init_transfer'. A guest user/process could use this issue to
leak host memory, resulting in DoS for a host.

CVE-2016-9921, CVE-2016-9922

qemu-kvm built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support is
vulnerable to a divide by zero issue. It could occur while copying VGA
data when cirrus graphics mode was set to be VGA. A privileged user
inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process instance on
the host, resulting in DoS.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u19.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
