CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for qemu-project/qemu.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The esp_reg_write function in hw/scsi/esp.c in the 53C9X Fast SCSI Controller (FSC) support in QEMU does not properly check command buffer length, which allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via unspecified vectors.
