Check the version of kmod-kvm

Vulnerability Insight:
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is
a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems.

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the way QEMU's virtual
Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) handled FIFO buffer access while processing
certain FDC commands. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash
the guest or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the host with the
privileges of the host's QEMU process corresponding to the guest.
(CVE-2015-3456)

Red Hat would like to thank Jason Geffner of CrowdStrike for reporting
