Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'qemu-kvm' package(s) announced via the USN-1339-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Nicolae Mogoreanu discovered that QEMU did not properly verify legacy mode
packets in the e1000 network driver. A remote attacker could exploit this
to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges
of the user invoking the program.

When using QEMU with libvirt or virtualization management software based on
libvirt such as Eucalyptus and OpenStack, QEMU guests are individually
isolated by an AppArmor profile by default in Ubuntu.

Affected Software/OS:
'qemu-kvm' package(s) on Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 11.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
