NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream virt:rhel/nbdkit-vddk-plugin package and not the virt:rhel/nbdkit-vddk-plugin package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in QEMU. If the QIOChannelWebsock object is freed while it is waiting to complete a handshake, a GSource is leaked. This can lead to the callback firing later on and triggering a use-after-free in the use of the channel. This can be abused by a malicious client with network access to the VNC WebSocket port to cause a denial of service during the WebSocket handshake prior to the VNC client authentication.
