NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-linux-user package and not the qemu-linux-user package as distributed by SLES.

In libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, tcp_subr.c misuses snprintf return values, leading to a buffer overflow in later code.
