NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openshift-ansible package and not the openshift-ansible package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 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.
