Updated qemu packages fix security vulnerabilities

Updated qemu packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A denial of service flaw was found in the way QEMU handled malformed Physical Region Descriptor Table (PRDT) data sent to the host's IDE and/or AHCI controller emulation. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the system (rhbz#1204919).

It was found that the QEMU's websocket frame decoder processed incoming frames without limiting resources used to process the header and the payload. An attacker able to access a guest's VNC console could use this flaw to trigger a denial of service on the host by exhausting all available memory and CPU (CVE-2015-1779).

Security update for kvm

kvm has been updated to fix issues in the embedded qemu:

* 

  CVE-2014-0223: An integer overflow flaw was found in the QEMU block
  driver for QCOW version 1 disk images. A user able to alter the QEMU
  disk image files loaded by a guest could have used this flaw to
  corrupt QEMU process memory on the host, which could potentially have
  resulted in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges
  of the QEMU process.

* 

  CVE-2014-3461: A user able to alter the savevm data (either on the
  disk or over the wire during migration) could have used this flaw to
  to corrupt QEMU process memory on the (destination) host, which could
  have potentially resulted in arbitrary code execution on the host
  with the privileges of the QEMU process.

* 

  CVE-2014-0222: An integer overflow flaw was found in the QEMU block
  driver for QCOW version 1 disk images. A user able to alter the QEMU
  disk image files loaded by a guest could have used this flaw to
  corrupt QEMU process memory on the host, which could have potentially
  resulted in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges
  of the QEMU process.

Non-security bugs fixed:

* Fix exceeding IRQ routes that could have caused freezes of guests.
  (bnc#876842)
* Fix CPUID emulation bugs that may have broken Windows guests with
  newer -cpu types (bnc#886535)

qemu, qemu-kvm vulnerabilities

Jason Geffner discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the virtual floppy driver. This issue is known as VENOM. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. (CVE-2015-3456)

Daniel P. Berrange discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled VNC websockets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause QEMU to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-1779)

Jan Beulich discovered that QEMU, when used with Xen, didn't properly restrict access to PCI command registers. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10. (CVE-2015-2756)
