CVE-2015-5278
The ne2000_receive function in hw/net/ne2000.c in QEMU before 2.4.0.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and instance crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to receiving packets.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
