Synopsis:	Low: kvm security and bug fix update
Issue date:	2011-01-13
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-4525

A data structure field in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_get_vcpu_events() in 
QEMU-KVM was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space. 
A privileged host user with access to "/dev/kvm" could use this flaw to 
leak kernel stack memory to user-space. (CVE-2010-4525)

These updated packages also fix several bugs.

The following procedure must be performed before this update will take
effect:

1) Stop all KVM guest virtual machines.

2) Either reboot the hypervisor machine or, as the root user, remove 
(using "modprobe -r [module]") and reload (using "modprobe [module]") 
all of the following modules which are currently running (determined 
using "lsmod"):
kvm, ksm, kvm-intel or kvm-amd.

3) Restart the KVM guest virtual machines.
