Subject: Re: CVE request Qemu: usb: null pointer dereference in remote NDIS control message handling

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

> Qemu emulator built with the USB Net device emulation support is vulnerable to
> a NULL pointer dereference issue. It could occur while processing remote NDIS
> control message packets, when the USB configuration descriptor object is null.
> 
> A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process
> instance resulting in DoS.

>> When processing remote NDIS control message packets, the USB Net
>> device emulator checks to see if the USB configuration descriptor
>> object is of RNDIS type(2). But it does not check if it is null,
>> which leads to a null dereference error. Add check to avoid it.

Use CVE-2016-2392.
