CVSS 3.1
6.8 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-6505
Medium (6.8). EPSS 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A flaw was found in the virtio-net device in QEMU. When enabling the RSS feature on the virtio-net network card, the indirections_table data within RSS becomes controllable. Setting excessively large values may cause an index out-of-bounds issue, potentially resulting in heap overflow access. This flaw allows a privileged user in the guest to crash the QEMU process on the host.
