NVD Description

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

It was found that vdsm before version 4.20.37 invokes qemu-img on untrusted inputs without limiting resources. By uploading a specially crafted image, an attacker could cause the qemu-img process to consume unbounded amounts of memory of CPU time, causing a denial of service condition that could potentially impact other users of the host.
