Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.57%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

eth_get_gso_type in net/eth.c in QEMU 4.2.1 allows guest OS users to trigger an assertion failure. A guest can crash the QEMU process via packet data that lacks a valid Layer 3 protocol.
