Synopsis:          Important: qemu-kvm security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2015:1924-1
Issue Date:        2015-10-22
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2015-5279
--

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the way QEMU's NE2000 NIC
emulation implementation handled certain packets received over the
network. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the
QEMU instance (denial of service) or potentially execute arbitrary code on
the host. (CVE-2015-5279)

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.
