CVE-2023-2861 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:23.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu package and not the qemu package as distributed by Ubuntu.
A flaw was found in the 9p passthrough filesystem (9pfs) implementation in QEMU. The 9pfs server did not prohibit opening special files on the host side, potentially allowing a malicious client to escape from the exported 9p tree by creating and opening a device file in the shared folder.
