Synopsis
virtio-win bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated virtio-win packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The virtio-win packages provide paravirtualized network drivers for most
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Paravirtualized drivers are
virtualization-aware drivers used by fully virtualized guests running on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, a guest became unresponsive after the virtqueue was full. This
caused a bug check to occur, and the netkvm driver wrote to the read-only
Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) register. The write caused QEMU to respond with
a "virtio_ioport_write: unexpected address 0x13 value 0x0" error message. This
update corrects this issue on the dst-host after termination of the listening
side of a virtserialport host, and interruptions and error messages no longer
occur in the described scenario. (BZ#976310)
Users of virtio-win are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
