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-2016-9101 Qemu: net: eepro100 memory leakage at device unplug
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the i8255x (PRO100) NIC emulation support
is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while unplugging the
device, and doing so repeatedly would result in leaking host memory affecting,
other services on the host.
A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to cause a DoS on the host
and/or potentially crash the Qemu process on the host.
