Description Prasad J Pandit 2016-10-28 01:48:06 EDT
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9
File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an information leakage issue. It
could occur by accessing xattribute value before it's written to.

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