CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2015:1002
The xen packages contain administration tools and the xend service for
managing the kernel-xen kernel for virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux.
An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the way QEMUβs 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 hostβs QEMU process corresponding to the guest.
(CVE-2015-3456)
Red Hat would like to thank Jason Geffner of CrowdStrike for reporting
this issue.
All xen users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the
updated packages, all running fully-virtualized guests must be restarted
for this update to take effect.
