CVE-2024-4467 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in the QEMU disk image utility (qemu-img) 'info' command. A specially crafted image file containing a `json:{}` value describing block devices in QMP could cause the qemu-img process on the host to consume large amounts of memory or CPU time, leading to denial of service or read/write to an existing external file.. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
