Title
Qemu-kvm: heap off-by-one in kvm xen physdevop_map_pirq
Summary
An off-by-one error was found in QEMU's KVM Xen guest support. A malicious guest could use this flaw to trigger out-of-bounds heap accesses in the QEMU process via the emulated Xen physdev hypercall interface, leading to a denial of service or potential memory corruption.
