Description Prasad J Pandit 2017-04-24 05:43:43 EDT
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio-9p back-end support is vulnerable
to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while querying file system extended
attributes via 9pfs_list_xattr() routine.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to leak host memory
resulting in Dos.
