tcp_emu in tcp_subr.c in libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, mismanages memory, as demonstrated by IRC DCC commands in EMU_IRC. This can cause a heap-based buffer overflow or other out-of-bounds access which can lead to a DoS or potential execute arbitrary code.
For Debian 8 Jessie
, this problem has been fixed in version
1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u13.
We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
