Updated qemu packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Qemu emulator built with the RTL8139 emulation support is vulnerable to an information leakage flaw. It could occur while processing network packets under RTL8139 controller's C+ mode of operation. A guest user could use this flaw to read uninitialised Qemu heap memory up to 65K bytes (CVE-2015-5165).

Qemu emulator built with the VNC display driver is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing a CLIENTCUTTEXT message with specially crafted payload message. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process on the host, resulting in DoS (CVE-2015-5239).

Qemu emulator built with the e1000 NIC emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing transmit descriptor data when sending a network packet. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (CVE-2015-6815).

Qemu emulator built with the IDE disk and CD/DVD-ROM emulation support is vulnerable to a divide by zero issue. It could occur while executing an IDE command WINREADNATIVE_MAX to determine the maximum size of a drive. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (CVE-2015-6855).
