Topic

Updated qemu-kvm packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux
on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. The qemu-kvm packages form the user-space
component for running virtual machines using KVM.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, QEMU did not support 2000x2000 screen resolution. This resolution

is now supported. (BZ#799002)

  • Previously, the free() function was missing in management of the "xsave"

processor state. This led to memory leaks in qemu-kvm when a guest used the
xsave functionality, causing excessive memory consumption on the host. Buffers
used to manage xsave support are now freed after use so that qemu-kvm no longer
leaks memory. (BZ#805550)

All users of qemu-kvm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs. After installing this update, shut down all running virtual
machines. Once all virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this
update to take effect.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
