Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1189-01 – KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems.

A privileged guest user in a guest with an AMD PCNet ethernet card enabled could potentially use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the hosting QEMU process.
