Synopsis:          Moderate: qemu-kvm security update

Advisory ID:       SLSA-2016:1585-1

Issue Date:        2016-08-09

CVE Numbers:       CVE-2016-5403

--



Security Fix(es):



* Quick emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio framework is vulnerable to an

unbounded memory allocation issue. It was found that a malicious guest

user could submit more requests than the virtqueue size permits.

Processing a request allocates a VirtQueueElement and therefore causes

unbounded memory allocation on the host controlled by the guest.
