From ${URL} : Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Crypto block IV generator - essiv support is vulnerable to a host memory leakage issue. It could occur while initialising the crypto device in 'qcrypto_ivgen_essiv_init'. A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host memory resulting in DoS. Upstream patch: --------------- -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-01/msg00295.html Reference: ---------- -> http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/02/16/2 @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.
This one turned out to be a non security issue, as guest could not trigger this memory leak. CVE has been cancelled, see https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-6000
