Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

QEMU could be made to crash or run programs.

Software Description: - qemu-kvm: Machine emulator and virtualizer

Details:

It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain VT100 escape sequences. A guest user with access to an emulated character device could use this flaw to cause QEMU to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
qemu-kvm 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu14.2

Ubuntu 11.10:
qemu-kvm 0.14.1+noroms-0ubuntu6.5

Ubuntu 11.04:
qemu-kvm 0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.7

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
qemu-kvm 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.20

After a standard system update you need to restart your virtual machines to make all the necessary changes.
