(CVE-2016-4952)

    Li Qiang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 Host Bus Adapter emulation support.
    A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial     of service, or possibly to obtain sensitive host memory. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and     Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-5105, CVE-2016-5106, CVE-2016-5107, CVE-2016-5337)

    It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain iSCSI asynchronous I/O ioctl calls. An attacker     inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code on the host. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt,     attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS     and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-5126)

    Zhenhao Hong discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Virtio module. A privileged attacker inside the     guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-5403)
