Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-05 23:17:59 UTC
CVE-2007-6227 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-6227):
  QEMU 0.9.0 allows local users of a Windows XP SP2 guest operating system to
  overwrite the TranslationBlock (code_gen_buffer) buffer, and probably have
  unspecified other impacts related to an "overflow," via certain Windows
  executable programs, as demonstrated by qemu-dos.com.

Any news here? 0.9.1 doesn't mention the fix in the changelog, otoh the last reply in the thread in $URL seems to contain a patch... maintainer, please advise.

0.10 in portage already
Comment 5 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2010-10-07 22:16:30 UTC
Yes, but did it fix this?
Comment 6 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-30 21:15:57 UTC
According to upstream's commit, 0.9.1 fixed this. That was 7 MAJOR versions ago so I have no idea when it was fixed in the tree.
Comment 7 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-10 21:52:00 UTC
6 years old and fixed in the tree 4 years ago. Can we get this wrapped up?
