openSUSE Security Update : qemu (openSUSE-SU-2014:0200-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 75249

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

Running QEMU in a configuration with more than 256 emulated SCSI devices attached could have caused a buffer overflow when the guest issues a REPORT LUNS command. Fix this as part of upgrading to the latest stable version on 13.1. Also fix unintentional building against gtk2 rather than gtk3 on 13.1, and fix serial retry logic on 12.3.

Solution

Update the affected qemu packages.
