RHEV-H and VDSM for 7 Hosts - ppc64le, x86_64

3. Description:

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in
environments managed by Red Hat products.

Security Fix(es):

* An out-of-bounds access issue was found in QEMU's Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA
Emulator support. The vulnerability could occur while copying VGA data
using bitblt functions (for example, cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_transp_). A
privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU
process, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2017-7718)

Red Hat would like to thank Jiangxin (PSIRT Huawei Inc.) for reporting
CVE-2017-7718.

Bug Fix(es):

* When using post-copy migration with the virtio Random Number Generator
(RNG) device, virtio-rng continued generating data while the migration was
already in post-copy mode. Consequently, the migration sometimes failed and
the error message "Failed to load virtio-rng:virtio" was displayed. The
source code has been improved and the problem no longer occurs in the
scenario described. (BZ#1450375)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing this update, shut down all running virtual machines. Once
all virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this update to
take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1443441 - CVE-2017-7718 Qemu: display: cirrus: OOB read access issue
1450375 - Migration failed with postcopy enabled from rhel7.3.z host to rhel7.4 host "error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'pci at 800000020000000:05.0/virtio-rng'"
