CVE-2014-0223  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 qemu to version 2.0.0+dfsg-6 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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the qcow_open function in block/qcow.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large image size, which triggers a buffer overflow or out-of-bounds read.
