High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The virtio_net_load function in QEMU versions 1.5.0 through 1.7.x before 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors in which the value of curr_queues is greater than max_queues, leading to an out-of-bounds write.

Risk Assessment

An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to disrupt system operations or execute malicious code, potentially leading to serious security implications for the organization.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update QEMU to version 1.7.2 or later to mitigate this vulnerability and to monitor systems for potential attack attempts.
