Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the QEMU emulator. It occurs in ipreass() routine while reassembling incoming packets, if the first fragment is bigger than the m->mdat[] buffer.

A user/process could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process on the host resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process.
