Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the Quick Emulator (QEMU) before 2.9 built with the Network Block Device (NBD) client support. The flaw could occur while processing server's response to a 'NBD_OPT_LIST' request. A malicious NBD server could use this issue to crash a remote NBD client resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on client host with privileges of the QEMU process.
