Description Adam Mariš 2016-01-18 12:18:54 UTC 
Qemu emulator built with the USB EHCI emulation support is vulnerable to an information leakage flaw. It could occur while processing isochronous transfer descriptors(iTD), with buffer page select(PG) index that falls beyond buffer page array area.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to leak qemu memory bytes.
