Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write. QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with the NE2000 device emulation support is vulnerable to an OOB r/w access issue. It could occur while performing 'ioport' r/w operations. A privileged (CAP_SYS_RAWIO) user/process could use this flaw to leak or corrupt QEMU memory bytes.
