3. Description:

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm package provides the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM.

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)

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
