Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1833-01 – KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. The qemu-kvm package provides the user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM. An information leak flaw was found in the way QEMU’s RTL8139 emulation implementation processed network packets under RTL8139 controller’s C+ mode of operation. An unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to read up to 65 KB of uninitialized QEMU heap memory.
