Synopsis:	Moderate: qemu-kvm security update
Issue date:	2011-03-10
CVE Names:	CVE-2011-0011

A flaw was found in the way the VNC "password" option was handled. 
Clearingaa password disabled VNC authentication, allowing a remote user 
able to connect to the virtual machines' VNC ports to open a VNC session 
without authentication. (CVE-2011-0011)

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.

SL 6.x
