Name        : qemu
Product     : Fedora 26
Version     : 2.9.0
Release     : 5.fc26
URL         : http://www.qemu.org/
Summary     : QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator
Description :
QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good
emulation speed by using dynamic translation. QEMU has two operating modes:

 * Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for
   example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be
   used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or
   to debug system code.
 * User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled
   for one CPU on another CPU.

As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is safe and easy to use.

Update Information:

This update backports some fixes for input issues (especially keyboard, over
VNC) that became apparent after the introduction of an input queue limit as a
fix for CVE-2017-8379. These issues especially affected the openQA automated
testing system.  The update also drops the qemu-side workaround for AMD CPU
issues that have now been fixed elsewhere (see [bug
#1467599](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467599)), and backports
binfmt/static improvements from Rawhide.
