Description
A flaw was found in the QXL display device emulation in QEMU. A double fetch of guest controlled values `cursor->header.width` and `cursor->header.height` can lead to the allocation of a small cursor object followed by a subsequent heap-based buffer overflow. A malicious privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host or potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process.
Weaknesses (CWE)
- CWE-362 — Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization
- CWE-120 — Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input
