Buffer Overflow

qemu is vulnerable to buffer overflow. hw/net/xgmac.c in the XGMAC Ethernet controller in QEMU has a buffer overflow. This occurs during packet transmission and affects the highbank and midway emulated machines. A guest user or process could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service or potential privileged code execution. This was fixed in commit 5519724a13664b43e225ca05351c60b4468e4555.
