Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-09-14 09:20:23 UTC
From ${URL} :

Qemu emulator built with the IDE disk and CD/DVD-ROM emulation support is 
vulnerable to a divide by zero issue. It could occur while executing an IDE 
command WIN_READ_NATIVE_MAX to determine the maximum size of a drive.

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

Upstream fix:
-------------
   -> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg02479.html

The fix disables undue IDE commands for CD-ROM drives.



@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.

qemu-2.4.0.1 in the tree should have the fixes for this and should be fine to mark stable
