The qemu-kvm package provides the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM. Security Fix: Quick Emulator built with the Network Block Device Server support is vulnerable to a crash via a SIGPIPE signal. The crash can occur if a client aborts a connection due to any failure during negotiation or read operation. A remote user/process could use this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server resulting in a DoS.
