KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products.
Security Fix(es):
Red Hat would like to thank Ken Johnson (Microsoft Security Response Center) and Jann Horn (Google Project Zero) for reporting this issue.
Note: This is the qemu-kvm-rhev side of the CVE-2018-3639 mitigation that includes support for guests running on hosts with AMD processors.
Bug Fix(es):
Previously, using device passthrough for a SCSI-2 device failed and returned an “Illegal Request” error. With this update, the QEMU emulator checks the SCSI version of the device when performing passthrough. As a result, the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1571370)
Under certain circumstances, resuming a paused guest generated redundant “VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_UNKNOWN” error messages in the libvirt log. This update corrects the event sending order when resuming guests, which prevents the errors being logged. (BZ#1582122)
Enhancement(s):
