CVE-2016-6351
Last modified
CVE-2016-6351 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.7/10 on the CVSS scale. The esp_do_dma function in hw/scsi/esp.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with ESP/NCR53C9x controller emulation support, allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) or execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via vectors involving DMA read into ESP command buffer.. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
