Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Important: kvm security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:1943-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1943.html
Issue date: 2016-09-27
CVE Names: CVE-2016-3710 CVE-2016-5403
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for kvm is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. 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.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Multi OS (v. 5 client) – x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization (v. 5 server) – x86_64

3. Description:

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 Fix(es):

* An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in the way QEMU’s VGA
emulation with VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE) support performed read/write
operations using I/O port methods. A privileged guest user could use this
flaw to execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the
host’s QEMU process. (CVE-2016-3710)

* Quick Emulator(QEMU) built with the virtio framework is vulnerable to an
unbounded memory allocation issue. It was found that a malicious guest user
could submit more requests than the virtqueue size permits. Processing a
request allocates a VirtQueueElement results in unbounded memory allocation
on the host controlled by the guest. (CVE-2016-5403)

Red Hat would like to thank Wei Xiao (360 Marvel Team) and Qinghao Tang
(360 Marvel Team) for reporting CVE-2016-3710 and hongzhenhao (Marvel Team)
