CVE-2016-9913 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:19.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu package and not the qemu package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Memory leak in the v9fs_device_unrealize_common function in hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local privileged guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host memory consumption and possibly QEMU process crash) via vectors involving the order of resource cleanup.
