NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-arm package and not the qemu-arm package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

An out-of-bounds heap buffer access flaw was found in the way the iSCSI Block driver in QEMU versions 2.12.0 before 4.2.1 handled a response coming from an iSCSI server while checking the status of a Logical Address Block (LBA) in an iscsi_co_block_status() routine. A remote user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service or potential execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.
