CVE-2015-8818  (opens in a new tab)

Amendment

The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:16.04.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu package and not the qemu package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The cpu_physical_memory_write_rom_internal function in exec.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) does not properly skip MMIO regions, which allows local privileged guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) via unspecified vectors.
