NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-system-aarch64 package and not the qemu-system-aarch64 package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (QEMU process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host via a crafted virtio-crypto request, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
