Debian DLA-2144-1 : qemu security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 134631

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two out-of-bounds heap buffer accesses were found in QEMU, a fast processor emulator, which could result in denial of service or abitrary code execution.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
