CVE-2016-9911

qemu-kvm built with the USB EHCI Emulation support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while processing packet data in ehci_init_transfer. A guest user/process could use this issue to leak host memory, resulting in DoS for a host.

CVE-2016-9921 / CVE-2016-9922 qemu-kvm built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support is vulnerable to a divide by zero issue. It could occur while copying VGA data when cirrus graphics mode was set to be VGA.
