NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-audio-pa package and not the qemu-audio-pa package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. This flaw allows a crafted guest driver to allocate and initialize a huge number of page tables to be used as a ring of descriptors for CQ and async events, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds read and crash of QEMU.
