Description Prasad Pandit 2018-01-19 09:50:34 UTC 
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with a macro ROUND_UP(n, d),
used to promote number 'n' to the nearest multiple of 'd',
is vulnerable to an integer overflow issue. It could occur
if 'd' is unsigned and differs in type from 'n'.

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