Description Prasad Pandit 2018-12-18 06:54:15 UTC 
A Null pointer dereference issue was found in QEMU's implementation of
VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. It could occur while performing
UAR read operation, as it did not define a routine to handle it.

A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash QEMU process on host,
resulting in DoS.
