Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Memory Leak. The (1) v9fs_create and (2) v9fs_lcreate functions in hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allow local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (file descriptor or memory consumption) via vectors related to an already in-use fid.
