CVE-2015-4037  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-17  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 qemu to version 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.13 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu package and not the qemu package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The slirp_smb function in net/slirp.c in QEMU 2.3.0 and earlier creates temporary files with predictable names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (instantiation failure) by creating /tmp/qemu-smb.- files before the program.
