Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1801-01 - KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. qemu-kvm is the user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM. A flaw was found in the way qemu-kvm handled VSC_ATR messages when a guest was configured for a CCID USB smart card reader in passthrough mode. An attacker able to connect to the port on the host being used for such a device could use this flaw to crash the qemu-kvm process on the host or, possibly, escalate their privileges on the host.
