Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
QEMU (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is caused by an integer overflow in the load multiboot function, located in hw/i386/multiboot.c, which is part of the QEMU emulator. This can be exploited by an attacker in the local guest operating system, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the host operating system. The exploitation is possible through specially crafted multiboot header address values, leading to an out-of-bounds write.
