MiracleLinux 4 : qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.415.AXS4.4 (AXSA:2014-016:01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 289823

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2014-016:01 advisory.

 KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware.
 Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2013-4344 Buffer overflow in the SCSI implementation in QEMU, as used in Xen, when a SCSI controller has more than 256 attached devices, allows local users to gain privileges via a small transfer buffer in a REPORT LUNS command.
 Fixed bugs:
 Fixed smart card emulation with MS Windows guests versions XP, 2003 and 7.
 The page_l1_map() function now works properly when using KVM and could lead to segmentation faults or other problems when calling page_l1_map(1 << 20) beyond the end of the l1_map array.
 Fixed I/O performance degradation.
 The qemu-img info command took a long time to respond when run immediately after creating an image with very small non-standard cluster sizes (for example, 512 bytes). This has been fixed Fixed a regression and live migration with the --copy-storage-all option now finishes successfully: no more error: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer messages.
 qemu now supports opening VMWare ESX image files.
 Added support for VMDK version 3 images: qemu-img can now convert them.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
