The xorg-x11-drv-qxl package provides an X11 video driver for the QEMU QXL video accelerator. This driver makes it possible to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 as a guest operating system under the KVM kernel module and the QEMU multi-platform emulator, using the SPICE protocol.
Security Fix
- CVE-2013-0241
- A flaw was found in the way the host's qemu-kvm qxl driver and the guest's X.Org qxl driver interacted when a SPICE connection terminated. A user able to initiate a SPICE connection to a guest could use this flaw to make the guest temporarily unavailable or, potentially (if the sysctl kernel.softlockup_panic variable was set to "1" in the guest), crash the guest.
All users of xorg-x11-drv-qxl are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. All running X.Org server instances using the qxl driver must be restarted for this update to take effect.
