Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in QEMU, a fast processor
emulator. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems:

  • CVE-2015-5239
    Lian Yihan discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain payload
    messages in the VNC display driver. A malicious guest could use this
    issue to cause the QEMU process to hang, resulting in a denial of
    service.
  • CVE-2016-2857
    Ling Liu discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled IP checksum
    routines. An attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause
    QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly leak
    host memory bytes.
  • CVE-2016-4020
    Donghai Zdh discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Task
    Priority Register(TPR). A privileged attacker inside the guest could
    use this issue to possibly leak host memory bytes.
  • CVE-2016-4439
    , CVE-2016-6351

Li Qiang disovered that the emulation of the 53C9X Fast SCSI
Controller is affected by out of bound access issues.

  • CVE-2016-5403
    Zhenhao Hong discovered that a malicious guest administrator can
    cause unbounded memory allocation in QEMU (which can cause an
    Out-of-Memory condition) by submitting virtio requests without
    bothering to wait for completion.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version
1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
