More information:

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in qemu, a fast processor emulator:

• Various security issues have been found in the block qemu drivers. Malformed disk images might result in the execution of arbitrary code.
• A NULL pointer dereference in SLIRP may result in denial of service
• An information leak was discovered in the VGA emulation

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-6a+deb7u4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
