Detail

Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat discovered that the blit region checks were insufficient in the Cirrus VGA emulator in qemu-kvm, a full virtualization solution on x86 hardware. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to write into qemu address space on the host, potentially escalating their privileges to those of the qemu host process.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.

Title: USN-2439-1 -- QEMU vulnerabilities
Description: Michael S. Tsirkin discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain parameters during ram load while performing a migration. An attacker able to manipulate savevm data could use this issue to possibly execute arbitrary code on the host. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 14.10.
