 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2009:009
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : kvm
 Date    : January 14, 2009
 Affected: 2009.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Security vulnerabilities have been discovered and corrected in
 VNC server of kvm version 79 and earlier, which could lead to
 denial-of-service attacks (CVE-2008-2382), and make it easier for
 remote crackers to guess the VNC password (CVE-2008-5714).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
