Doc Text:
A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the QEMU emulator. It occurs in tcp_emu() routine while emulating the Identification protocol and copying message data to a socket buffer. A user or process could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in a DoS or potentially executing arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process.

Description Sam Fowler 2019-01-08 02:39:09 UTC 
A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation
of the QEMU emulator. It occurs in tcp_emu() routine while emulating
Identification protocol and copying message data to a socket buffer. 

A user/process could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process on the host
resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code with privileges of the 
QEMU process.

Comment 7 James Hebden 2019-01-25 03:59:14 UTC 
Statement:

Red Hat OpenStack Platform:                                                                                                                 
This flaw impacts KVM user-mode or SLIRP networking, which is not used in Red Hat OpenStack. Updating is recommended, however Red Hat OpenStack installs are not vulnerable to the described flaw due to the vulnerable feature not being used.
