From ${URL}: Hello, Qemu emulator built with a VMWARE VMXNET3 paravirtual NIC emulator support is vulnerable to a memory leakage flaw. It occurs when a guest repeatedly tries to activate the vmxnet3 device. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to leak host memory, resulting in DoS on the host. Upstream patch: --------------- -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-12/msg02299.html This issue was discovered by Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Marvel Team.
