Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
An out-of-bounds read-access flaw was found in the QEMU emulator built with IP checksum routines. The flaw could occur when computing a TCP/UDP packet's checksum, because a QEMU function used the packet's payload length without checking against the data buffer's size. A user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process (denial of service).

Description Adam Mariš 2016-01-07 15:05:54 UTC 
Qemu emulator built with the IP checksum routines is vulnerable to an OOB read access issue. It could occur while computing checksum for TCP/UDP packets, as the function uses payload length from the packet without checking against the data buffer size.

A user inside guest could use this flaw to read excessive bytes or crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS.
