CVE-2016-2392  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 qemu to version 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.1 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:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The is_rndis function in the USB Net device emulator (hw/usb/dev-network.c) in QEMU before 2.5.1 does not properly validate USB configuration descriptor objects, which allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and QEMU process crash) via vectors involving a remote NDIS control message packet.
