Descriptions

qemu-seccomp.c in QEMU might allow local OS guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) by leveraging mishandling of the seccomp policy for threads other than the main thread.

qemu-seccomp.c en QEMU podría permitir que usuarios locales del sistema operativo provoquen una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado del guest) aprovechando la gestión incorrecta de la política seccomp para hilos diferentes al principal.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-ma packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM on the IBM z Systems, IBM Power, and 64-bit ARM architectures.
