The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2016-1109:04 advisory.

    qemu-kvm is an open source virtualizer that provides hardware emulation for     the KVM hypervisor. qemu-kvm acts as a virtual machine monitor together with     the KVM kernel modules, and emulates the hardware for a full system such as     a PC and its assocated peripherals.
    As qemu-kvm requires no host kernel patches to run, it is safe and easy to use.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2016-1981
    ** RESERVED **     This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that     will use it when announcing a new security problem.  When the     candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be     provided.
    CVE-2016-3712     Integer overflow in the VGA module in QEMU allows local guest OS users     to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process     crash) by editing VGA registers in VBE mode.
    Additional Changes:

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

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2585 advisory.

    Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64     systems. The qemu-kvm packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An integer overflow flaw and an out-of-bounds read flaw were found in the way QEMU's VGA emulator set     certain VGA registers while in VBE mode. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU     process instance. (CVE-2016-3712)

    * An infinite loop flaw was found in the way QEMU's e1000 NIC emulation implementation processed data     using transmit or receive descriptors under certain conditions. A privileged user inside a guest could use     this flaw to crash the QEMU instance. (CVE-2016-1981)

    Red Hat would like to thank Zuozhi Fzz (Alibaba Inc.) for reporting CVE-2016-3712.

An update for qemu-kvm is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. The qemu-kvm packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM.

Security Fix(es) :

* An integer overflow flaw and an out-of-bounds read flaw were found in the way QEMU's VGA emulator set certain VGA registers while in VBE mode. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process instance. (CVE-2016-3712)

* An infinite loop flaw was found in the way QEMU's e1000 NIC emulation implementation processed data using transmit or receive descriptors under certain conditions. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU instance. (CVE-2016-1981)

Red Hat would like to thank Zuozhi Fzz (Alibaba Inc.) for reporting CVE-2016-3712.
