    CVE ID : CVE-2012-0029

    Nicolae Mogoraenu discovered a heap overflow in the emulated e1000e
    network interface card of KVM, a solution for full virtualization on
    x86 hardware, which could result in denial of service or privilege
    escalation.

    This update also fixes a guest-triggerable memory corruption in
    VNC handling.

    version 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze8.
