Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions QEMU versions prior to 6.0.0

Description A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the am53c974 SCSI host bus adapter emulation of QEMU. This issue occurs while handling the 'Information Transfer' command. The flaw allows a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
