CWE-787  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 qemu-img to version 10:1.5.3-60.el7_0.5 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2014:0927.

NVD Description

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

The virtio_load function in virtio/virtio.c in QEMU 1.x before 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted savevm image, which triggers an out-of-bounds write.
