Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-08-23 11:30:38 UTC
From ${URL} :

An out of bounds memory access flaw was found in Qemu's ACPI PCI hotplug
interface. It leads to Qemu's memory corruption via OOB write(4 bytes) and 
information disclosure(~12 bytes) through OOB read.

A user with a custom PCI device could use this flaw to leak qemu process'
memory bytes or corrupt them on the host.

Upstream fix:
-------------
  -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-08/msg03338.html


@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-08-27 13:18:01 UTC
This is fixed in =app-emulation/qemu-2.1.0-r1 and we will wait a bit for the stabilization.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2014-08-28 07:31:51 UTC
i was waiting for the patch to be merged upstream since it didn't seem to be critical (and we haven't treated any other QEMU security issue as critical), so i don't know why you decided to jump in now

your patch is named wrong, and lacks relevant metadata.  please read this doc before committing patches in the future:

Great guide. Would be great if this reference will be in the wiki instead of personal devspace.
Comment 5 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2014-09-09 19:38:29 UTC
With a few QEMU bugs waiting for stabilization, making this one the master for those. As per Vapier, waited 30 days for regular testing. 

Arches, please test and mark stable:

=app-emulation/qemu-2.1.0-r1

Target Keywords : "amd64 ppc ppc64 x86"

Thank you!
Comment 6 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-09-10 07:50:10 UTC
ppc and ppc64 has no stable keywords
Comment 7 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-09-13 17:06:51 UTC
amd64 stable
Comment 8 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-09-13 17:07:37 UTC
x86 stable.

Maintainer(s), please cleanup.
Security, please add it to the existing request, or file a new one.
Comment 9 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-09-13 17:12:37 UTC
