CVE-2008-0928

First published: Wed Feb 20 2008(Updated: )

Ian Jackson discovered that accesses beyond end of qemu emulated disk devices can result in accesses to emulator's virtual memory space accesses and thus can allow user with sufficient privilege in guest (root, as this would need modification to kernel's driver) to break out of VM. <a href="http://marc.info/?l=debian-security&amp;m=120343592917055&amp;w=2">http://marc.info/?l=debian-security&amp;m=120343592917055&amp;w=2</a>
