Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-07-23 11:00:53 UTC 
From ${URL} :

Qemu emulator built with the SCSI device emulation support is vulnerable to a 
stack buffer overflow issue. It could occur while parsing SCSI command 
descriptor block with an invalid operation code.

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

Upstream fix:
---------------
   -> https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg04558.html



@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
