Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891350
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1350-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'qemu-kvm' package(s) announced via the DLA-1350-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'qemu-kvm' package(s) announced via the DLA-1350-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The load_multiboot function in hw/i386/multiboot.c in Quick Emulator (aka QEMU) allows local guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via a mh_load_end_addr value greater than mh_bss_end_addr, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write memory access.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u25.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
