Description Prasad J Pandit 2017-08-21 07:15:24 EDT
Quick emulator built with the IDE disk and CD/DVD-ROM Emulator support is
vulnerable to a null pointer dereference issue. It could occur while
flushing an empty CDROM device drive.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process
resulting in DoS.
