Doc Text:
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the LSI53C895A SCSI Host Bus Adapter emulation of QEMU. The flaw occurs while processing repeated messages to cancel the current SCSI request via the lsi_do_msgout function. This flaw allows a malicious privileged user within the guest to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.

A use after free issue was found in the `hw/scsi/lsi53c895a.c` specifically in `lsi_do_msgout` function. `lsi_do_msgout` function is used to receive
message from the OS, and do something based on that message. In this case, one message only has one-byte size.
