  A flaw was found in the way QEMU-KVM emulated the e1000 network interface
  card when the host was configured to accept jumbo network frames, and a
  guest using the e1000 emulated driver was not. A remote attacker could use
  this flaw to crash the guest or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with
  root privileges in the guest. (CVE-2012-6075)

  All users of qemu-kvm should upgrade to these updated packages, which
  contain backported patches to correct this issue. After installing this
  update, shut down all running virtual machines. Once all virtual machines
  have shut down, start them again for this update to take effect.");
