CVE-2014-0223
Integer overflow in the qcow_open function in block/qcow.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large image size, which triggers a buffer overflow or out-of-bounds read.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
