Moderate: qemu-kvm security update

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM. Security Fix(es): * QEMU: e1000e: heap use-after-free in e1000e_write_packet_to_guest() (CVE-2023-3019) * QEMU: VNC: infinite loop in inflate_buffer() leads to denial of service (CVE-2023-3255) * QEMU: improper IDE controller reset can lead to MBR overwrite (CVE-2023-5088) * QEMU: VNC: NULL pointer dereference in qemu_clipboard_request() (CVE-2023-6683) * QEMU: am53c974: denial of service due to division by zero (CVE-2023-42467) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
