Description Johannes Segitz 2015-08-07 08:29:20 UTC

rh#1251157

From: P J P

Qemu emulator built with the virtio-serial vmchannel support is vulnerable to a buffer overflow issue. It could occur while exchanging virtio control messages between guest & the host.

A malicious guest could use this flaw to corrupt few bytes of Qemu memory area, potentially crashing the Qemu process.
