[oss-security] CVE-2018-18438 Qemu: Integer overflow in ccid_card_vscard_read() allows memory corruption

[P J P]

Hello,

An integer overflow issue was found in the CCID Passthru card device
emulation, while reading card data in ccid_card_vscard_read() function. The
ccid_card_vscard_read() function accepts a signed integer 'size' argument,
which is subsequently used as unsigned size_t value in memcpy(), copying large
amounts of memory.

A user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting in
DoS.
