Users should monitor official vendor advisories from SUSE and Red Hat for updates and apply any released patches promptly.
Description
A vulnerability in the QEMU disk image utility (qemu-img) 'info' command allows a specially crafted image file containing a json:{} value describing block devices in QMP to cause excessive memory or CPU consumption. This can lead to denial of service or unintended read/write access to an existing external file on the host running the process. The issue affects the Advanced Virtualization module used in Red Hat environments with KVM. The severity is assessed as high. No CVSS score is provided.
