Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703087
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-3087-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'qemu' package(s) announced via the DSA-3087-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'qemu' package(s) announced via the DSA-3087-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

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

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'qemu' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.6
