The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:1369 advisory.
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products.
Security Fix(es):
* QEMU: i386: multiboot OOB access while loading kernel image (CVE-2018-7550)
* QEMU: cirrus: OOB access when updating VGA display (CVE-2018-7858)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Red Hat would like to thank Cyrille Chatras (Orange.com) and CERT-CC (Orange.com) for reporting CVE-2018-7550 and Ross Lagerwall (Citrix.com) for reporting CVE-2018-7858.
Bug Fix(es):
* In certain Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) guest configurations, virtual pass-through devices could not be removed properly. A reference count leak in the QEMU emulator has been removed, and the affected devices are now removed reliably. (BZ#1555213)
* Previously, a raw disk image that was using the --preallocation=full option in some cases could not be resized. This problem has been fixed and no longer occurs. (BZ#1566587)
* Due to race conditions in the virtio-blk and virtio-scsi services, the QEMU emulator sometimes terminated unexpectedly when shutting down. The race conditions have been removed, and QEMU now exits gracefully. (BZ#1566586)
* Prior to this update, deleting guest snapshots using the RHV GUI in some cases failed due to an incorrect image-seeking algorithm. This update fixes the underlying code, and guest snapshots in RHV can now be deleted successfully. (BZ#1566369)
