Title: QEMU vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in QEMU.
Li Qiang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled VirtFS directory sharing.
A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU
to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-7377, CVE-2017-8086)
Jiangxin discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Cirrus VGA device. A
privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-7718)
Li Qiang and Jiangxin discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Cirrus
VGA device when being used with a VNC connection. A privileged attacker

CVE-2017-8309 [HIGH] CVE-2017-8309 Qemu: audio: host memory leakage via capture buffer
CVE-2017-8309 Qemu: audio: host memory leakage via capture buffer
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Audio subsystem support is vulnerable to
a host memory leakage issue. It could occur if a guest user was to repeatedly
start and stop audio capture.
A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to exhaust host memory,
resulting in DoS.
