Description Prasad J Pandit 2017-01-17 05:57:42 EST
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9
File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper link following issue.
It could occur while accessing symbolic link files on a shared host directory.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to access host file system
beyond the shared folder and potentially escalating their privileges on a host.
