(RHSA-2020:1216) Important: qemu-kvm-rhev security, bug fix, and enhancement update

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):

• QEMU: slirp: heap buffer overflow during packet reassembly (CVE-2019-14378)

• QEMU: block: iscsi: OOB heap access via an unexpected response of iSCSI Server (CVE-2020-1711)

• QEMU: qxl: null pointer dereference while releasing spice resources (CVE-2019-12155)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
