    Package : qemu
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem-Type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2008-0928 CVE-2008-4539 CVE-2008-1945

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the QEMU processor
    emulator. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2008-0928

    Ian Jackson discovered that range checks of file operations on
    emulated disk devices were insufficiently enforced.

    CVE-2008-1945

    It was discovered that an error in the format auto detection of
    removable media could lead to the disclosure of files in the
    host system.

    CVE-2008-4539

    A buffer overflow has been found in the emulation of the Cirrus
    graphics adaptor.


    For the old stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.2-4etch3.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 0.9.1-10lenny1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 0.9.1+svn20081101-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
