NVD Description

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

Integer overflow in the load_multiboot function in hw/i386/multiboot.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host via crafted multiboot header address values, which trigger an out-of-bounds write.
