CVE-2011-2512 | BDVDB-2026-50648 Detail
Description#
The virtio_queue_notify in qemu-kvm 0.14.0 and earlier does not properly validate the virtqueue number, which allows guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a negative number in the Queue Notify field of the Virtio Header, which bypasses a signed comparison.
Impact#
No impact statement in the source data.
Weaknesses#
