Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-12-23 08:06:00 UTC 
From ${URL} :

Qemu emulator built with the Human Monitor Interface(HMP) support is vulnerable to an OOB write 
issue. It occurs while processing 'sendkey' command in hmp_sendkey routine, if the command argument 
is longer than the 'keyname_buf' buffer size.

A user/process could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process instance resulting in DoS.
