"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2017:0331 advisory.

    KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of
    architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines
    that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products.

    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)

    Red Hat would like to thank Wjjzhang (Tencent.com Inc.) and Li Qiang (360.cn Inc.) for reporting
    CVE-2017-2615.

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

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