Doc Text:
Quick Emulator(QEMU) built with the Block driver for iSCSI images support (virtio-blk) is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow issue. The flaw could occur while processing iSCSI asynchronous I/O ioctl(2) calls. A user inside a guest could exploit this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in denial of service, or potentially leverage it to execute arbitrary code with QEMU-process privileges on the host.

Description Prasad Pandit 2016-05-30 17:36:23 UTC 
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Block driver for iSCSI images support
(virtio-blk) is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow flaw. It could occur
while processing iSCSI asynchronous I/O ioctl(2) calls.

A user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting
in DoS OR potentially leverage it to execute arbitrary code with privileges
of the Qemu process on the host.
