Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.702607
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2607-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'qemu-kvm' package(s) announced via the DSA-2607-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'qemu-kvm' package(s) announced via the DSA-2607-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that the e1000 emulation code in QEMU does not enforce frame size limits in the same way as the real hardware does. This could trigger buffer overflows in the guest operating system driver for that network card, assuming that the host system does not discard such frames (which it will by default).

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze10.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'qemu-kvm' package(s) on Debian 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
9.3
