    An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has one errata is now available.

    Description:


    This update fixes the following security issues:

    - Enforce receive packet size, thus eliminating buffer overflow and
    potential security issue. (bsc#957162 CVE-2015-7512)
    - Infinite loop in processing command block list. CVE-2015-8345
    (bsc#956829):

    This update also fixes a non-security bug:

    supported guests are negatively impacted by this change, which is taken
    from upstream seabios)
