CVE request Qemu: scsi: esp: oob write access while reading ESP command

  Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the ESP/NCR53C9x controller emulation support is vulnerable to an OOB write access issue. It could occur while doing DMA read into ESP command buffer 's->cmdbuf'; It could write past the 's->cmdbuf' area, if it was transferring more than 16 bytes in esp_do_dma().

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS OR potentially leverage it to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the Qemu process on the host.
