Hello,
The QEMU Guest Agent in QEMU is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the
qmp_guest_file_read(). An attacker could exploit this by sending a crafted QMP
command (including guest-file-read with a large count value) to the agent via
the listening socket to trigger a g_malloc() call with a large memory chunk
resulting in a segmentation fault.
A user could use this flaw to crash the Qemu-guest-agent resulting in DoS.
Upstream Patch:

This issue was reported by Fakhri Zulkifli.
Thank you.
