NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-guest-agent package and not the qemu-guest-agent package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mptsas_process_scsi_io_request function in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with LSI SAS1068 Host Bus emulation support, allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) via vectors involving MPTSASRequest objects.
