Doc Text:
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the megasas-gen2 SCSI host bus adapter emulation of QEMU. This issue occurs in the megasas_command_cancelled() callback function while dropping a SCSI request. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

Description Mauro Matteo Cascella 2020-12-23 14:32:23 UTC 
A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in the megasas-gen2 SCSI host bus adapter emulation of QEMU. It could occur in the megasas_command_cancelled() callback function in hw/scsi/megasas.c while dropping a SCSI request. A privileged guest user may exploit this issue to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Statement:

This issue does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenStack Platform and RHEL Advanced Virtualization, as the `qemu-kvm` package does not include support for the megasas-gen2 host bus adapter emulation.
