CVE-2013-4538
HighSummary
Multiple buffer overflows in the ssd0323_load function in QEMU before 1.7.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted values.
Risk Assessment
Attackers may exploit this vulnerability to remotely corrupt memory or take control of the system, posing a serious security threat to the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update QEMU to version 1.7.2 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.

- CVE-2017-15268High
Qemu through 2.10.0 allows remote attackers to cause a memory leak by triggering slow data-channel read operations, related to io/channel-websock.c.
- CVE-2017-13711High
A use-after-free vulnerability in the sofree function in slirp/socket.c in QEMU allows attackers to cause a denial of service (QEMU instance crash) by failing to properly clear ifq_so from pending packets.
- CVE-2014-0145High
Multiple buffer overflows in QEMU before 1.7.2 and 2.x before 2.0.0 allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a large L1 table in the qcow2_snapshot_load_tmp in the QCOW 2 block driver or various parameters in the DMG block driver.
- CVE-2014-0143High
