Several vulnerabilities were discovered in QEMU, a fast processor emulator (notably used in KVM and Xen HVM virtualization). An attacker could trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) and possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the QEMU process on the host.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u17.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
