[SECURITY] [DLA 1128-1] qemu-kvm security update



Package        : qemu-kvm
Version        : 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u24
CVE ID         : CVE-2017-14167 CVE-2017-15038

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in qemu-kvm, a full
virtualization solution for Linux hosts on x86 hardware with x86 guests
based on the Quick Emulator(Qemu).

CVE-2017-14167

    Incorrect validation of multiboot headers could result in the
    execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2017-15038

    When using 9pfs qemu-kvm is vulnerable to an information
    disclosure issue. It could occur while accessing extended attributes
    of a file due to a race condition. This could be used to disclose
    heap memory contents of the host.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u24.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
