Setting excessively large values may cause an index out-of-bounds issue, potentially resulting in heap overflow access.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.66%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A flaw was found in the virtio-net device in QEMU. When enabling the RSS feature on the virtio-net network card, the indirections_table data within RSS becomes controllable. Setting excessively large values may cause an index out-of-bounds issue, potentially resulting in heap overflow access. This flaw allows a privileged user in the guest to crash the QEMU process on the host.
