An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the way QEMUโ€™s virtual Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) handled FIFO buffer access while processing certain FDC commands. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the guest or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the hostโ€™s QEMU process corresponding to the guest. (CVE-2015-3456)

Note: The following procedure must be performed before this update will take effect :

  1. Stop all KVM guest virtual machines.

  2. Either reboot the hypervisor machine or, as the root user, remove (using โ€˜modprobe -r [module]โ€™) and reload (using โ€˜modprobe [module]โ€™) all of the following modules which are currently running (determined using โ€˜lsmodโ€™): kvm, ksm, kvm-intel or kvm-amd.

  3. Restart the KVM guest virtual machines.
