Summary
Security update for qemu
Details

This update for qemu fixes the following issues:

This security issue was fixed:

  • CVE-2018-12617: qmpguestfile_read had an integer overflow that could have been exploited by sending a crafted QMP command (including guest-file-read with a large count value) to the agent via the listening socket causing DoS (bsc#1098735)

These non-security issues were fixed:

  • Allow kvm group access to /dev/sev (bsc#1102604).
  • Fix for the value used for reducedphysbits. Please update the reducedphysbits value used on the commandline or in libvirt XML to the value 1 (explicitly set now in QEMU code). (bsc#1103628)
  • Fix (again) the qemu guest agent udev rule file, which got unfixed in a series of unfortunate events (bsc#1094898 and now bsc#1105279)
