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)
After installing the updated packages, all running fully-virtualized guests must be restarted for this update to take effect.
