NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-guest-agent package and not the qemu-guest-agent package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the qcow_open function in block/qcow.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large image size, which triggers a buffer overflow or out-of-bounds read.
