CVE-2015-4037  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-17  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 qemu to version 1:2.3+dfsg-5 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 Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The slirp_smb function in net/slirp.c in QEMU 2.3.0 and earlier creates temporary files with predictable names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (instantiation failure) by creating /tmp/qemu-smb.- files before the program.
