An issue was discovered in ide_dma_cb() in hw/ide/core.c in QEMU 2.4.0 through 4.2.0. The guest system can crash the QEMU process in the host system via a special SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND. It hits an assertion that implies that the size of successful DMA transfers there must be a multiple of 512 (the size of a sector). NOTE: a member of the QEMU security team disputes the significance of this issue because a "privileged guest user has many ways to cause similar DoS effect, without triggering this assert.

** EN DISPUTA ** Se descubrió un problema en la función ide_dma_cb() en el archivo hw/ide/core.c en QEMU versiones 2.4.0 hasta la versión 4.2.0. El sistema invitado puede bloquear el proceso de QEMU en el sistema host por medio de un SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND especial. Llega a una afirmación que implica que el tamaño de las transferencias DMA con éxito debe ser un múltiplo de 512 (el tamaño de un sector). NOTA: un miembro del equipo de seguridad de QEMU cuestiona la relevancia de este problema ya que un "usuario invitado privilegiado cuenta con muchas formas de causar un efecto de DoS similar, sin activar esta afirmación".
