Description Prasad J Pandit 2017-12-05 02:18:28 EST
Virtio Vring implementation in Quick Emulator(QEMU) is vulnerable
to an arithmetic exception issue. It could occur if a guest was
to unset vring alignment while updating Virtio rings.

A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash Qemu process
resulting in DoS.
