NVD Description

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

In libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, tcp_subr.c misuses snprintf return values, leading to a buffer overflow in later code.
