A flaw was found in the way qemu v1.3.0 and later (virtio-rng) validates addresses when guest accesses the config space of a virtio device. If the virtio device has zero/small sized config space, such as virtio-rng, a privileged guest user could use this flaw to access the matching host's qemu address space and thus increase their privileges on the host.

The (1) BMDMA and (2) AHCI HBA interfaces in the IDE functionality in QEMU 1.0 through 2.1.3 have multiple interpretations of a function's return value, which allows guest OS users to cause a host OS denial of service (memory consumption or infinite loop, and system crash) via a PRDT with zero complete sectors, related to the bmdma_prepare_buf and ahci_dma_prepare_buf functions.

The virtio_load function in virtio/virtio.c in QEMU 1.x before 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted savevm image, which triggers an out-of-bounds write.

The usb_device_post_load function in hw/usb/bus.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted savevm image, related to a negative setup_len or setup_index value.

Buffer overflow in the pxa2xx_ssp_load function in hw/arm/pxa2xx.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted s->rx_level value in a savevm image.

Integer signedness error in the virtio_net_load function in hw/net/virtio-net.c in QEMU 1.x before 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted savevm image, which triggers a buffer overflow.

Array index error in the virtio_load function in hw/virtio/virtio.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted savevm image.

The virtio_scsi_load_request function in hw/scsi/scsi-bus.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted savevm image, which triggers an out-of-bounds array access.

Multiple buffer overflows in the ssd0323_load function in hw/display/ssd0323.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted (1) cmd_len, (2) row, or (3) col values; (4) row_start and row_end values; or (5) col_star and col_end values in a savevm image.

Buffer overflow in hw/timer/hpet.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the number of timers.
