NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-chardev-spice package and not the qemu-chardev-spice package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

An integer overflow was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device in versions prior to 6.1.0. The issue occurs while handling a "PVRDMA_REG_DSRHIGH" write from the guest due to improper input validation. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to make QEMU allocate a large amount of memory, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
