CVE-2016-9104: Debian Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 4.4. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) v9fs_xattr_read and (2) v9fs_xattr_write functions in hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allow local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (QEMU process crash) via a crafted offset, which triggers an out-of-bounds access.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only
• Opensuse Leap: version 42.2 only
• Qemu Qemu: up to and including 2.7.1
