Subject: CVE-2018-20815 QEMU: device_tree: heap buffer overflow while loading
device tree blob
Hello,
A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the load_device_tree() function of
QEMU, which is invoked to load device tree blob at boot time. It occurs due to
device tree size manipulation before buffer allocation, which could overflow a
signed int type.
A user/process could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code on a
host system with privileges of the QEMU process.
Upstream patch:
