CVE-2021-3607 (GCVE-0-2021-3607)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-02-24 18:50 – Updated: 2024-08-03 17:01
VLAI
Summary
An integer overflow was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device in versions prior to 6.1.0. The issue occurs while handling a "PVRDMA_REG_DSRHIGH" write from the guest due to improper input validation. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to make QEMU allocate a large amount of memory, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
