Description Sam Fowler 2018-06-21 20:47:19 EDT
The QEMU Guest Agent in QEMU is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the 
qmp_guest_file_read(). An attacker could exploit this by sending a crafted QMP 
command (including guest-file-read with a large count value) to the agent via 
the listening socket to trigger a g_malloc() call with a large memory chunk 
resulting in a segmentation fault.

A user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU guest agent process resulting in DoS.

Created qemu tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1594055]
Comment 3 Joshua Padman 2018-07-25 07:45:45 EDT
The builds of qemu-kvm-rhev used by OpenStack do not have building of the guest agent enabled. Therefore the vulnerable code is not built and shipper to customers.
