CVE-2020-25742  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-476  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.21 qemu to version 5.2.0-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu package and not the qemu package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.21 relevant fixed versions and status.

pci_change_irq_level in hw/pci/pci.c in QEMU before 5.1.1 has a NULL pointer dereference because pci_get_bus() might not return a valid pointer.
