qemu was updated to fix several security issues and bugs.
The following vulnerabilities were fixed:
- CVE-2015-5154: Heap-based buffer overflow in the IDE subsystem in QEMU,
when the container has a CDROM drive enabled, allows local guest users
to execute arbitrary code on the host via unspecified ATAPI commands.
(bsc#938344).
- CVE-2015-5278: QEMU was vulnerable to an infinite loop issue that could
occur when receiving packets over the network. (bsc#945989)
- CVE-2015-5279: QEMU was vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow issue that
could occur when receiving packets over the network. (bsc#945987)
- CVE-2015-6855: QEMU was vulnerable to a divide by zero issue that could
occur while executing an IDE command WIN_READ_NATIVE_MAX to determine
the maximum size of a drive. (bsc#945404)
- CVE-2014-7815: The set_pixel_format function in ui/vnc.c in QEMU allowed
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a small
