CVE-2024-4467: Red Hat Advanced Virtualization For Rhel 8.2.1

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in the QEMU disk image utility (qemu-img) 'info' command. A specially crafted image file containing a `json:{}` value describing block devices in QMP could cause the qemu-img process on the host to consume large amounts of memory or CPU time, leading to denial of service or read/write to an existing external file.
