NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcacard-tools package and not the libcacard-tools package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The MSI-X MMIO support in hw/pci/msix.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and QEMU process crash) by leveraging failure to define the .write method.
