A flaw was found in the Quick Emulator(QEMU) built with LSI SAS1068 Host Bus emulation support, where it is vulnerable to an invalid memory-access issue. The flaw could occur while processing SCSI IO requests in the mptsas_process_scsi_io_request routine. A privileged user inside the guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU-process instance on the host (denial of service).
