  Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Network Block Device(NBD) client support is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow issue. It could occur while processing server's response to a 'NBD_OPT_LIST' request.

A malicious NBD server could use this issue to crash remote NBD client resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on client host with privileges of the Qemu process.
