CVE-2024-6505 (GCVE-0-2024-6505)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-07-05 13:51 – Updated: 2025-11-08 07:13
VLAI?
Summary
A flaw was found in the virtio-net device in QEMU. When enabling the RSS feature on the virtio-net network card, the indirections_table data within RSS becomes controllable. Setting excessively large values may cause an index out-of-bounds issue, potentially resulting in heap overflow access. This flaw allows a privileged user in the guest to crash the QEMU process on the host.
Severity ?
