CVE-2014-0147

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Qemu versions prior to 1.6.2

Description The issue is related to a possible crash caused by signed data types or a logic error while creating QCOW2 snapshots. This leads to incorrectly calling the update refcount() routine, potentially causing the program to crash.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.6.2, update to version 1.6.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the creation of QCOW2 snapshots until a patch is available.
