Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-06-08 07:35:35 UTC 
From ${URL} :

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 Host Bus Adapter 
emulation support is vulnerable to a null pointer dereference issue. It could 
occur while processing megasas commands via megasas_command_complete().

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