Affected: 2009.0, Enterprise Server 5.0

Problem Description:

Qemu 0.9.1 and earlier does not perform range checks for block
device read or write requests, which allows guest host users with
root privileges to access arbitrary memory and escape the virtual
machine. (CVE-2008-0928)

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
