3. Description:

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in
environments managed by Red Hat products.

Security Fix(es):

* Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with Network Block Device (NBD) Server
support was vulnerable to a null-pointer dereference issue. The flaw could
occur when releasing a client, which was not initialized due to failed
negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit this flaw to crash the
qemu-nbd server (denial of service). (CVE-2017-9524)

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, when the data plane was in use, changing the target image of
a virtual SCSI CD device caused the guest to terminate unexpectedly with a
core dump. With this update, the virtio-scsi bus rejects SCSI CDs when the
data plane is active, which prevents the crash from occurring. Note that
this is a temporary solution, and a full fix to make the data plane and
SCSI CD compatible will be provided in the future. (BZ#1461837)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing this update, shut down all running virtual machines. Once
all virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this update to
take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1460170 - CVE-2017-9524 Qemu: nbd: segmentation fault due to client non-negotiation
1461837 - Core dump when use "data-plane" and execute change cd
