Qemu: usb: integer overflow in remote NDIS control message handling
Multiple integer overflows in the USB Net device emulator (hw/usb/dev-network.c) in QEMU before 2.5.1 allow local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (QEMU process crash) or obtain sensitive host memory information via a remote NDIS control message packet that is mishandled in the (1) rndis_query_response, (2) rndis_set_response, or (3) usb_net_handle_dataout function.
An integer-overflow issue was found in the QEMU emulator built with USB Net device emulation support. The flaw could occur while processing remote NDIS control message packets because the incoming informationBufferOffset & Length combination could cross the integer range. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to leak host me

CVE-2016-2538 Qemu: usb: integer overflow in remote NDIS control message handling
Qemu emulator built with the USB Net device emulation support is vulnerable to an integer overflow issue. It could occur while processing remote NDIS control message packets. As the incoming informationBufferOffset & Length combination could cross the integer range.
A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to leak host memory bytes to guest or crash the Qemu process instance resulting in DoS.
