CVE-2020-1711
Last modified
CVE-2020-1711 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6/10 on the CVSS scale. An out-of-bounds heap buffer access flaw was found in the way the iSCSI Block driver in QEMU versions 2.12.0 before 4.2.1 handled a response coming from an iSCSI server while checking the status of a Logical Address Block (LBA) in an iscsi_co_block_status() routine. A remote user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service or potential execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.. EPSS estimates a 4.02% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
