NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen-libs package and not the xen-libs package as distributed by RHEL.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the ne2000_receive function in hw/net/ne2000.c in QEMU before 2.4.0.1 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (instance crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to receiving packets.
