Description Prasad Pandit 2017-02-07 18:52:55 UTC 
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Virtio crypto device emulation support is
vulnerable to an integer overflow issue. It could occur while handling data
encryption/decryption requests in 'virtio_crypto_handle_sym_req'.

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