A flaw was found in Qemu. A lack of restriction for the amount of data read by QEMU Monitor socket can lead to denial of service by exhaustion of memory resources.

Comment 2 Prasad Pandit 2018-01-18 06:05:43 UTC 
Created libvirt tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1535785]
Comment 3 Cedric Buissart 2018-01-24 14:36:48 UTC 
Although RHES-3 (RHGS) is shipped with libvirt, it does not use Qemu. As such, there is no qemu process running, and no vulnerable monitor socket created.
Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2018-03-01 16:23:28 UTC 
libvirt-3.7.0-4.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
