    Summary: Updated qemu packages fix CVE-2015-3456

    Details: Updated qemu packages fix security vulnerability: An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the way QEMU's virtual Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) handled FIFO buffer access while processing certain FDC commands. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the guest or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the host's QEMU process corresponding to the guest (CVE-2015-3456).
