Doc Text:
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in various system emulators of QEMU that occurs while performing MMIO r/w operations when the respective handler function is not defined. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to invoke the MMIO operation to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.

Description Prasad Pandit 2020-07-02 05:36:17 UTC 
A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in various system emulators of QEMU. It could occur while performing MMIO r/w operations, in case the respective handler function is not defined. A privileged guest user able to invoke MMIO operation may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario.

Statement:

In Red Hat OpenStack Platform, because the flaw has a lower impact and the fix would require a substantial amount of development, no update will be provided at this time for the RHOSP qemu-kvm-rhev package.
