CVE-2017-14167: Debian Linux

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Integer overflow in the load_multiboot function in hw/i386/multiboot.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host via crafted multiboot header address values, which trigger an out-of-bounds write.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only
• Qemu Qemu: up to and including 2.10.2
