Descriptions
The host_from_stream_offset function in arch_init.c in QEMU, when loading RAM during migration, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) offset or (2) length value in savevm data.
La función host_from_stream_offset en arch_init.c en QEMU, cuando carga RAM durante la migración, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un valor (1) offset o (2) length manipulado en datos savevm.
It was found that certain values that were read when loading RAM during migration were not validated. A user able to alter the savevm data (either on the disk or over the wire during migration) could use either of these flaws to corrupt QEMU process memory on the (destination) host, which could potentially result in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process.
