  Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the ESP/NCR53C9x controller emulation support is vulnerable to an OOB write access issue. The controller uses 16-byte FIFO buffer for command and information transfer. The OOB write occurs while reading from information transfer buffer via non-DMA mode in routine get_cmd().

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS.

Upstream patch:

Reference:

This issue was discovered by Li Qiang of 360.cn Inc.

Thank you.
