Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in QEMU. Software Description: - qemu: Machine emulator and virtualizer - qemu-kvm: Machine emulator and virtualizer Details: 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. (CVE-2014-7840) Paolo Bonzini discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled memory in the Cirrus VGA device. A malicious guest could possibly use this issue to write into memory of the host, leading to privilege escalation. (CVE-2014-8106) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.10: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.

| Description: | Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat discovered that the blit region checks were insufficient in the Cirrus VGA emulator in qemu, a fast processor emulator. 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. | ||
