QEMU 0.9 - Translation Block Local Denial of Service
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/26666/info
QEMU is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks when handling user-supplied input.
Attackers can exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions. Given the nature of the issue, attackers may also be able to execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.
QEMU 0.9.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
