Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-ipxe package and not the qemu-ipxe package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

An assertion failure issue was found in the Network Block Device(NBD) Server in all QEMU versions before QEMU 5.0.1. This flaw occurs when an nbd-client sends a spec-compliant request that is near the boundary of maximum permitted request length. A remote nbd-client could use this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server resulting in a denial of service.
