Dear all,

I am using CloudStack 4.2.0 and KVM. My hypervisor hosts are using Ubuntu
12.04 LTS. Due to VENOM vulnerability, I upgraded QEMU on my Ubuntu hosts
to the latest version on Ubuntu repository package:

qemu-kvm 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu14.22

as per below recommendation:

http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2608-1/

After the upgrade, I noted that the attach ISO function doesn't work:

- During Windows OS installation, I tried to attach VirtIO driver ISO but
it cannot browse the file;
- I attached a Linux installation ISO and reboot a VM, it cannot detect the
CD/DVD drive.
- Generally, it seems that I can only view content of an attached ISO only
after I reboot the VM. Prior to the upgrade, this was not the case and an
attached ISO is normally detected and browse-able immediately after being
attached.

Prior to this, I am using older version of QEMU 1.5.1 compiled from source,
and to address the VENOM issue, I decided to revert back to the QEMU
package provided by Ubuntu. Could this be the reason?

I didn't download and compile QEMU from source since the latest version
available on QEMU website: version 2.3.0 is released before VENOM
vulnerability was disclosed so I am not too sure whether it contains the
latest patches to address the vulnerability.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thank you.
