Doc Text:
An assertion failure flaw was found in QEMU in the network packet processing component. This issue affects the "e1000e" and "vmxnet3" network devices. This flaw allows a malicious guest user or process to abort the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.

Description Mauro Matteo Cascella 2020-07-24 08:30:45 UTC 
An assertion failure issue was found in the net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment() function in hw/net/net_tx_pkt.c. This assertion comes from the code that processes network packets. This code is shared between e1000e, vmxnet3 and apparently a few more devices. A malicious guest user/process could abuse this flaw to abort the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition.
