An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the way QEMUโs 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 hostโs QEMU process corresponding to the guest. (CVE-2015-3456)
Note: The following procedure must be performed before this update will take effect :
Stop all KVM guest virtual machines.
Either reboot the hypervisor machine or, as the root user, remove (using โmodprobe -r [module]โ) and reload (using โmodprobe [module]โ) all of the following modules which are currently running (determined using โlsmodโ): kvm, ksm, kvm-intel or kvm-amd.
Restart the KVM guest virtual machines.
