Descriptions

QEMU-KVM, as used in the Hypervisor (aka rhev-hypervisor) in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) 2.2 and KVM 83, does not properly validate guest QXL driver pointers, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and guest OS crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

QEMU-KVM, tal como se utiliza en el Hypervisor (alias rhev-hipervisor) en Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) v2.2 y KVM 83, no valida correctamente los punteros a controladores QXL, lo que permite causar, a los usuarios del sistema operativo huésped, una denegación de servicio (uso de puntero invalido y la caída del sistema operativo huésped) o posiblemente ganar privilegios a través de vectores no especificados.
