Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the load_device_tree() function of QEMU, which is invoked to load a device tree blob at boot time. It occurs due to device tree size manipulation before buffer allocation, which could overflow a signed int type. A user/process could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code on a host system with privileges of the QEMU process.

Description Prasad Pandit 2019-03-27 08:00:08 UTC 
A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the load_device_tree() function
of QEMU, which is invoked to load device tree blob at boot time.
It occurs due to device tree size manipulation before buffer allocation,
which could overflow a signed int type.

A user/process could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary
code on a host system with privileges of the QEMU process.
