Hi everyone, As part of recent planning around stable releases discussed during KVM Forum, I'm releasing the first of what will be regular (hopefully not *too* regular) CVE-only stable updates. These updates are intended to reduce the gap between vulnerability disclosures and patched/packaged releases.
You can grab the latest release here: http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.4.0.1.tar.bz2 Please see the changelog for CVE numbers/details. Users are encouraged to update as soon as possible. v2.4.0.1 is now tagged in the official qemu.git repository, and the stable-2.4 branch has been updated accordingly: http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/stable-2.4 These CVE-only releases are produced as-needed and are on no set release schedule. Full stable releases are still tentatively planned to continue as they (mostly) have in the past: 1 mid-cycle stable update, and 1 stable update at the end of each release cycle, with freeze dates announced in advance to pull together important fixes. v2.4.1 is currently planned for 2015-10-20: http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.4 Thank you to everyone involved!
