Descriptions

The drive_init function in QEMU 0.9.1 determines the format of a raw disk image based on the header, which allows local guest users to read arbitrary files on the host by modifying the header to identify a different format, which is used when the guest is restarted.

La función drive_init en QEMU 0.9.1 determina el formato de una imagen de disco en bruto basada en la cabecera, lo que permite a usuarios locales invitados leer archivos de su elección en el host modificando la cabecera para identificar un formato distinto, lo que se usa cuando el invitado se reinicia.
