<define-tag description>LTS security update</define-tag>
<define-tag moreinfo>
<p>A vulnerability was discovered in the qemu virtualisation solution:</p>

<ul>

<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-3456">CVE-2015-3456</a>

    <p>Jason Geffner discovered a buffer overflow in the emulated floppy
    disk drive, resulting in the potential execution of arbitrary code.</p>

<p>Despite the end-of-life of qemu-kvm support in the old-oldstable
distribution (squeeze-lts), this problem has been fixed in version
0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze11 of the qemu-kvm source package due to its
severity (the so-called VENOM vulnerability).</p>

<p>Further problems may still be present in the qemu-kvm package in the
old-oldstable distribution (squeeze-lts) and users who need to rely on
qemu-kvm are encouraged to upgrade to a newer version of Debian.</p>

<p>We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.</p></li>

</ul>
