NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kmod-kvm-debug package and not the kmod-kvm-debug package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in the e1000_receive function in the e1000 device driver (hw/e1000.c) in QEMU 1.3.0-rc2 and other versions, when the SBP and LPE flags are disabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) and possibly execute arbitrary guest code via a large packet.
