Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow such that a specially crafted negative value could make datasize wrap around and cause the next allocation to be 0. A malicious privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host or potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process.

Note: This CVE exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-4206.
