[Andrew Bogott]

I've verified that the new package doesn't break anything, and it
appears to contain the needed patches.

Title:
  qemu security backport needed in the Ubuntu Cloud Archive

Status in Ubuntu Cloud Archive:
  Invalid
Status in Ubuntu Cloud Archive kilo series:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  There is a known security issue in qemu/qemu-kvm, documented here:

  http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2974-1/

  I am running Nova Compute nodes with the Ubuntu Cloud Archive, version
  Kilo.  That repo provides me with the following package:

  qemu-kvm                            1:2.2+dfsg-5expubuntu9.7~cloud2

  That package does not contain fixes for the security issue.

  Needless to say, qemu-kvm is a critical component of any OpenStack
  install, so security updates need to be applied to the cloud archive
  packages in a timely manner.
