The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201609-01 (QEMU: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in QEMU. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Local users within a guest QEMU environment can execute arbitrary code       within the host or a cause a Denial of Service condition of the QEMU       guest process.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for xen fixes the several issues. These security issues were fixed :

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.
