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_net_load function in hw/net/virtio-net.c in QEMU 1.5.0 through 1.7.x before 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors in which the value of curr_queues is greater than max_queues, which triggers an out-of-bounds write.
