Qemu · Qemu · CVE-2017-15268
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Qemu versions prior to 2.10.0
**Description**
The issue is related to a memory leak in the io/channel-websock.c component of the QEMU hardware emulator. It can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by triggering slow data-channel read operations.
**Recommendations**
For Qemu versions prior to 2.10.0, update to version 2.10.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the io/channel-websock.c component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
