Description Prasad Pandit 2014-03-20 12:10:51 UTC 
Qemu block diver for the various disk image formats used by Bochs and for the
QCOW version 2 format, are vulnerable to a possible crash caused by signed data
types or a logic error while creating QCOW2 snapshots, which leads to
incorrectly calling update_refcount() routine.

An user able to alter the Qemu disk image files loaded by a guest could use
this flaw to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS or corrupt QEMU process
memory on the host, which could potentially result in arbitrary code execution
on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process.

Upstream fix:
-------------
qcow2: Don't rely on free_cluster_index in alloc_refcount_bl

bochs: Use unsigned variables for offsets and sizes
