CVE-2016-3710 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 qemu to version 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.24 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu package and not the qemu package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
The VGA module in QEMU improperly performs bounds checking on banked access to video memory, which allows local guest OS administrators to execute arbitrary code on the host by changing access modes after setting the bank register, aka the "Dark Portal" issue.
