CWE-787  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 qemu to version 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u12 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.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the iscsi_aio_ioctl function in block/iscsi.c in QEMU allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (QEMU process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted iSCSI asynchronous I/O ioctl call.
