Title:	CentOS Update for xorg-x11-drv-qxl CESA-2013:0218 centos6
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'xorg-x11-drv-qxl'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'xorg-x11-drv-qxl' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The xorg-x11-drv-qxl package provides an X11 video driver for the QEMU QXL video accelerator. This driver makes it possible to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 as a guest operating system under the KVM kernel module and the QEMU multi-platform emulator, using the SPICE protocol. A flaw was found in the way the host's qemu-kvm qxl driver and the guest's X.Org qxl driver interacted when a SPICE connection terminated. A user able to initiate a SPICE connection to a guest could use this flaw to make the guest temporarily unavailable or, potentially (if the sysctl kernel.softlockup_panic variable was set to '1' in the guest), crash the guest. (CVE-2013-0241) All users of xorg-x11-drv-qxl are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. All running X.Org server instances using the qxl driver must be restarted for this update to take effect. Affected Software/OS: xorg-x11-drv-qxl on CentOS 6 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
