Qemu · Qemu · CVE-2020-13754
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
QEMU version 4.2.0
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer data boundary operation overflow in QEMU, which can be exploited to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service. Specifically, the `hw/pci/msix.c` file in QEMU allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access via a crafted address in an msi-x mmio operation.
**Recommendations**
For QEMU version 4.2.0, consider restricting access to the `hw/pci/msix.c` file or the msi-x mmio operation to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
