Qemu 1.1.2+dfsg to 2.1+dfsg suffers from a buffer overrun which could potentially result in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
