CVE-2021-4206

A flaw was found in the QXL display device emulation in QEMU. An integer overflow in the cursor_alloc() function can lead to the allocation of a small cursor object followed by a subsequent heap-based buffer overflow. This flaw allows a malicious privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host or potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process.

Se ha encontrado un fallo en la emulación del dispositivo de visualización QXL en QEMU. Un desbordamiento de enteros en la función cursor_alloc() puede conllevar a una asignación de un pequeño objeto cursor seguido de un posterior desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria. Este fallo permite a un usuario invitado con privilegios maliciosos bloquear el proceso QEMU en el host o ejecutar potencialmente código arbitrario dentro del contexto del proceso QEMU
