6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution
for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm package provides
the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM.

Security Fix(es) :

* A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in QEMU's Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA
emulator's VNC display driver support; the issue could occur when a
VNC client attempted to update its display after a VGA operation is
performed by a guest. A privileged user/process inside a guest could
use this flaw to crash the QEMU process or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code on the host with privileges of the QEMU process.
(CVE-2016-9603)

* An out-of-bounds r/w access issue was found in QEMU's Cirrus CLGD
54xx VGA Emulator support. The vulnerability could occur while copying
VGA data via various bitblt functions. A privileged user inside a
guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process or, potentially,
execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of the QEMU
process. (CVE-2017-7980)

* An out-of-bounds memory access issue was found in QEMU's VNC display
driver support. The vulnerability could occur while refreshing the VNC
display surface area in the 'vnc_refresh_server_surface'. A
user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU
process, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-2633)

* An out-of-bounds access issue was found in QEMU's Cirrus CLGD 54xx
VGA Emulator support. The vulnerability could occur while copying VGA
data using bitblt functions (for example,
cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_transp_). A privileged user inside a guest could
use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in denial of
service. (CVE-2017-7718)

Red Hat would like to thank Jiangxin (PSIRT Huawei Inc.) and Li Qiang
(Qihoo 360 Gear Team) for reporting CVE-2017-7980 and Jiangxin (PSIRT
Huawei Inc.) for reporting CVE-2017-7718."
