Last modified
CVE-2013-2016 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in the way qemu v1.3.0 and later (virtio-rng) validates addresses when guest accesses the config space of a virtio device. If the virtio device has zero/small sized config space, such as virtio-rng, a privileged guest user could use this flaw to access the matching host's qemu address space and thus increase their privileges on the host.. EPSS estimates a 0.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
