From ${URL}: Hello, Qemu emulator built with the Virtual Network Device(virtio-net) support is vulnerable to a DoS issue. It could occur while receiving large packets over the tuntap/macvtap interfaces and when guest's virtio-net driver did not support big/mergeable receive buffers. An attacker on the local network could use this flaw to disable guest's networking by sending a large number of jumbo frames to the guest, exhausting all receive buffers and thus leading to a DoS situation. Upstream fixes: --------------- -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg04729.html -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg04730.html -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg04731.html [PATCH 3/3] above fixes this issue by discarding the used descriptors. Thank you. -- Prasad J Pandit / Red Hat Product Security Team 47AF CE69 3A90 54AA 9045 1053 DD13 3D32 FE5B 041F
