Moderate: virt:rhel and virt-devel:rhel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Published May 10, 2022 · Updated Feb 4, 2026

Summary

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offers a full virtualization solution for Linux on numerous hardware platforms. The virt:Rocky Linux module contains packages which provide user-space components used to run virtual machines using KVM. The packages also provide APIs for managing and interacting with the virtualized systems.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: qemu-kvm (6.2.0), libvirt (8.0.0), libvirt-python (8.0.0), perl-Sys-Virt (8.0.0), seabios (1.15.0), libtpms (0.9.1). (BZ#1997410, BZ#2012802, BZ#2012806, BZ#2012813, BZ#2018392, BZ#2027716, BZ#2029355)

Security Fix(es):

* QEMU: virtio-net: heap use-after-free in virtio_net_receive_rcu (CVE-2021-3748)

* ntfs-3g: Out-of-bounds access in ntfs_inode_lookup_by_name() caused by an unsanitized attribute length (CVE-2021-39259)

* ntfs-3g: Out-of-bounds access in ntfs_inode_sync_standard_information() (CVE-2021-39260)

* ntfs-3g: Heap buffer overflow in ntfs_compressed_pwrite() (CVE-2021-39261)

* ntfs-3g: Out-of-bounds access in ntfs_decompress() (CVE-2021-39262)

* ntfs-3g: Heap buffer overflow in ntfs_get_attribute_value() caused by an unsanitized attribute (CVE-2021-39263)

* hivex: stack overflow due to recursive call of _get_children() (CVE-2021-3622)

* nbdkit: NBD_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY injection on STARTTLS (CVE-2021-3716)

* libvirt: segmentation fault during VM shutdown can lead to vdsm hang (CVE-2021-3975)

* QEMU: NULL pointer dereference in pci_write() in hw/acpi/pcihp.c (CVE-2021-4158)

* QEMU: block: fdc: null pointer dereference may lead to guest crash (CVE-2021-20196)
