Title:	Ubuntu USN-1177-1 (qemu-kvm)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to qemu-kvm announced via advisory USN-1177-1. Details: Andrew Griffiths discovered that QEMU did not correctly drop privileges when using the 'runas' argument. Under certain circumstances a local attacker could exploit this to escalate privileges. Solution: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.04: qemu-kvm 0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.4 Ubuntu 10.10: qemu-kvm 0.12.5+noroms-0ubuntu7.10 qemu-kvm-extras 0.12.5+noroms-0ubuntu7.10 qemu-kvm-extras-static 0.12.5+noroms-0ubuntu7.10 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: qemu-kvm 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.15 qemu-kvm-extras 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.15 qemu-kvm-extras-static 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.15 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1177-1
