Package        : qemu-kvm
Version        : 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u22
CVE ID         : CVE-2016-9602 CVE-2017-7377 CVE-2017-7471 CVE-2017-7493 
                 CVE-2017-8086

Several 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-2016-9602

  Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via
  Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper link
  following issue.  It could occur while accessing symbolic link files
  on a shared host directory.

  A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to access host file
  system beyond the shared folder and potentially escalating their
  privileges on a host.

CVE-2017-7377

  Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio-9p back-end support is
  vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while doing a I/O
  operation via v9fs_create/v9fs_lcreate routine.

  A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to leak
  host memory resulting in Dos.

CVE-2017-7471

  Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via
  Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper access
  control issue.  It could occur while accessing files on a shared host
  directory.

  A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to access host file
  system beyond the shared folder and potentially escalating their
  privileges on a host.

CVE-2017-7493

  Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via
  Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper access
  control issue.  It could occur while accessing virtfs metadata files
  in mapped-file security mode.

  A guest user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges inside
  guest.

CVE-2017-8086

  Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio-9p back-end support is
  vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while querying
  file system extended attributes via 9pfs_list_xattr() routine.

  A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to leak
  host memory resulting in Dos.
    
For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u22.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
