Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:210
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : qemu
Date : April 27, 2015
Affected: Business Server 1.0, Business Server 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated qemu packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A denial of service flaw was found in the way QEMU handled malformed
Physical Region Descriptor Table (PRDT) data sent to the host's IDE
and/or AHCI controller emulation. A privileged guest user could use
this flaw to crash the system (rhbz#1204919).

It was found that the QEMU's websocket frame decoder processed incoming
frames without limiting resources used to process the header and the
payload. An attacker able to access a guest's VNC console could use
this flaw to trigger a denial of service on the host by exhausting
all available memory and CPU (CVE-2015-1779).
