The 'qemu, qemu-kvm' package(s) in Ubuntu are missing an update announced via USN-3047-2. The update reverts the security fix for CVE-2016-5403 due to a regression causing save/restore failures when virtio memory balloon statistics are enabled. Several other vulnerabilities are also fixed

Original advisory details:

 Li Qiang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled 53C9X Fast SCSI
 controller emulation. A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this
 issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
 execute arbitrary code on the host. In the default installation, when QEMU
 is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor
 profile. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
 (CVE-2016-4439, CVE-2016-4441, CVE-2016-5238, CVE-2016-5338, CVE-2016-6351)

 Li Qiang and Qinghao Tang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the
 VMWare VGA module. A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this
 issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
 to obtain sensitive host memory. (CVE-2016-4453, CVE-2016-4454)

 Li Qiang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled VMWARE PVSCSI paravirtual
 SCSI bus emulation support. A privileged attacker inside the guest could
 use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
 This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
 (CVE-2016-4952)

 Li Qiang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 Host
 Bus Adapter emulation support. A privileged attacker inside the guest could
 use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
 possibly to obtain sensitive host memory. This issue only applied to Ubuntu
 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-5105, CVE-2016-5106,
 CVE-2016-5107, CVE-2016-5337)

 It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain iSCSI asynchronous
 I/O ioctl calls. An attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause
 QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
 arbitrary code on the host. In the default installation, when QEMU is used
 with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile.
 This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
 (CVE-2016-5126)

 Zhenhao Hong discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Virtio module. A
 privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to
 crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-5403)");
