Summary:

QEMU could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain e1000 packet sizes.
In certain environments, an attacker may use this flaw in combination with
large packets to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code in the
guest.
