MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.29%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the QXL display device emulation in QEMU. The qxl_phys2virt() function does not check the size of the structure pointed to by the guest physical address, potentially reading past the end of the bar space into adjacent pages. A malicious guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host causing a denial of service condition.
