"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2016:0085 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.

    An out-of-bounds read/write flaw was discovered in the way QEMU's Firmware
    Configuration device emulation processed certain firmware configurations.
    A privileged (CAP_SYS_RAWIO) guest user could use this flaw to crash the
    QEMU process instance or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the host
    with privileges of the QEMU process. (CVE-2016-1714)

    Red Hat would like to thank Donghai Zhu of Alibaba for reporting this
    issue.

    All qemu-kvm-rhev users 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.");
