"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2015:0891 advisory.

    KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
    Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. The qemu-kvm-rhev package provides the
    user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM, in
    environments managed by Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.

    It was found that the Cirrus blit region checks were insufficient.
    A privileged guest user could use this flaw to write outside of
    VRAM-allocated buffer boundaries in the host's QEMU process address space
    with attacker-provided data. (CVE-2014-8106)

    This issue was found by Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat.

    All users of qemu-kvm-rhev are advised to upgrade to these updated
    packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
