Subject: CVE-2018-7550 Qemu: i386: multiboot OOB access while loading kernel
image
Hello,
Quick Emulator(QEMU) built with the PC System Emulator with multiboot feature
support is vulnerable to an OOB r/w memory access issue. It could occur while
loading a kernel image during a guest boot if multiboot head addresses
mh_load_end_addr was greater than mh_bss_end_addr.
A user/process could use this flaw to potentially achieve arbitrary code
execution on a host.
