Action Type Old Value New Value Changed Description An out-of-bounds flaw was found in the QEMU emulator built using 'address_space_translate' to map an address to a MemoryRegionSection. The flaw could occur while doing pci_dma_read/write calls, resulting in an out-of-bounds read-write access error. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the guest instance (denial of service). The cpu_physical_memory_write_rom_internal function in exec.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) does not properly skip MMIO regions, which allows local privileged guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) via unspecified vectors.
