Description Prasad Pandit 2016-10-28 09:04:35 UTC 
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9
File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an integer overflow issue. It
could occur by accessing xattributes values.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process
instance resulting in DoS.
