NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-kvm package and not the qemu-kvm package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) v9fs_xattr_read and (2) v9fs_xattr_write functions in hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allow local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (QEMU process crash) via a crafted offset, which triggers an out-of-bounds access.
