Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-06-07 07:47:40 UTC 
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the ESP/NCR53C9x controller emulation support
is vulnerable to an OOB r/w access issue. The controller uses 16-byte FIFO
buffer the information transfer. The OOB r/w occurs while reading/writing
to this buffer in esp_reg_read() and esp_reg_write() routines.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process
resulting in DoS OR potentially leverage it to execute arbitrary code with
privileges of the Qemu process on the host.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
