NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream virt-v2v-man-pages-uk package and not the virt-v2v-man-pages-uk package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. This flaw allows a crafted guest driver to execute HW commands when shared buffers are not yet allocated, potentially leading to a use-after-free condition.
