Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-09-07 09:35:46 UTC
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VMWARE PVSCSI paravirtual SCSI bus 
emulation support is vulnerable to an OOB access and/or infinite loop issue. 
It could occur while processing SCSI commands 'PVSCSI_CMD_SETUP_RINGS'.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process 
resulting in DoS.
