CVE-2016-4441
Last modified
CVE-2016-4441 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6/10 on the CVSS scale. The get_cmd function in hw/scsi/esp.c in the 53C9X Fast SCSI Controller (FSC) support in QEMU does not properly check DMA length, which allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) via unspecified vectors, involving an SCSI command.. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
