Description Wolfgang Frisch 2020-09-22 13:08:48 UTC

CVE-2020-25743

A null pointer dereference issue was found in the IDE disk emulator of QEMU. It could occur while cancelling an i/o operation via ide_cancel_dma_sync() routine, if a block drive pointer is null. A guest may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario.

The patch[1] hasn't have any update since Sep 30, 2020. I'll monitor it.

Comment 7 Dario Faggioli 2023-03-08 00:48:07 UTC

The patch mentioned in the thread has gone nowhere close to upstream... Should we just drop the ball on this?
