Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write. Stack-based buffer overflow in the megasas_ctrl_get_info function in QEMU, when built with SCSI MegaRAID SAS HBA emulation support, allows local guest users to cause a denial of service (QEMU instance crash) via a crafted SCSI controller CTRL_GET_INFO command.
