Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kvm' package(s) announced via the USN-776-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Avi Kivity discovered that KVM did not correctly handle certain disk formats. A local attacker could attach a malicious partition that would allow the guest VM to read files on the VM host. (CVE-2008-1945, CVE-2008-2004) Alfredo Ortega discovered that KVM's VNC protocol handler did not correctly validate certain messages. A remote attacker could send specially crafted VNC messages that would cause KVM to consume CPU resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-2382) Jan Niehusmann discovered that KVM's Cirrus VGA implementation over VNC did not correctly handle certain bitblt operations. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code on the VM host or crash KVM, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-4539) It was discovered that KVM's VNC password checks did not use the correct length. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause KVM to crash, leading to a denial of service.
