Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. The sdhci_sdma_transfer_multi_blocks function in hw/sd/sdhci.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap access and crash) or execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via vectors involving the data transfer length.
