CVE-2014-8106

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions QEMU versions prior to 2.2.0

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the Cirrus VGA emulator. This allows local guest users to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to blit regions. The problem exists due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue.

Recommendations For QEMU versions prior to 2.2.0, update to version 2.2.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Cirrus VGA emulator until a patch is available.
