CVE-2016-5403 [MEDIUM] QEMU vulnerabilities
Title: QEMU vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in QEMU.
Zhenhao Hong discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Virtio module. A
privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to
consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-5403)
Li Qiang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled VMWARE VMXNET3 network
card emulation support. A privileged attacker inside the guest could use
this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.10.

CVE-2016-8910 Qemu: net: rtl8139: infinite loop while transmit in C+ mode
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the RTL8139 ethernet controller emulation
support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while
transmitting packets in C+ mode of operation.
A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to consume excessive CPU
cycles on the host, resulting in DoS situation.
