    Package : qemu-kvm
    Vulnerability : implementation error
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-1751

    Nelson Elhage discovered that incorrect memory handling during the
    removal of ISA devices in KVM, a solution for full virtualization on
    x86 hardware, could lead to denial of service of the execution of
    arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
