Subject: CVE-2018-19364 Qemu: 9pfs: Use-after-free due to race condition
while updating fid path
Hello,
A use-after-free flaw was found in the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan
9 File System(9pfs) support in QEMU. It could occur due to a race condition in
updating fid path in worker threads via v9fs_path_copy(), while accessing
files on a shared host directory.
A user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in
DoS issue.
