An integer overflow and buffer overflow issues were found in the ACPI Error
Record Serialization Table (ERST) device of QEMU in the read_erst_record()
and write_erst_record() functions. Both issues may allow the guest to
overrun the host buffer allocated for the ERST memory device. A malicious
guest could use these flaws to crash the QEMU process on the host.
