NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nbdkit-xz-filter package and not the nbdkit-xz-filter package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the UAS (USB Attached SCSI) device emulation of QEMU in versions prior to 6.2.0-rc0. The device uses the guest supplied stream number unchecked, which can lead to out-of-bounds access to the UASDevice->data3 and UASDevice->status3 fields. A malicious guest user could use this flaw to crash QEMU or potentially achieve code execution with the privileges of the QEMU process on the host.
