Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for qemu-guest-agent CESA-2016:1585 centos6
Summary:Check the version of qemu-guest-agent
Description:Summary:
Check the version of qemu-guest-agent

Vulnerability Insight:
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a
full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems.
The qemu-kvm packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines
using KVM.

Security Fix(es):

* Quick emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio framework is vulnerable to an
unbounded memory allocation issue. It was found that a malicious guest user
could submit more requests than the virtqueue size permits. Processing a
request allocates a VirtQueueElement and therefore causes unbounded memory
allocation on the host controlled by the guest. (CVE-2016-5403)

Red Hat would like to thank hongzhenhao (Marvel Team) for reporting this
issue.

Affected Software/OS:
qemu-guest-agent on CentOS 6
