CVE-2014-0223  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 qemu-kvm to version 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu14.17 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-kvm package and not the qemu-kvm package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the qcow_open function in block/qcow.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large image size, which triggers a buffer overflow or out-of-bounds read.
