About this tag
CVE-2023-1544 is a security vulnerability in QEMU's paravirtual RDMA (pvrdma) implementation. A guest can trigger an out-of-bounds read in the pvrdma_ring_next_elem_read() function due to a boundary-checking bug, causing the QEMU process to crash. This results in a host-side denial-of-service condition, which is a critical availability concern for operators and cloud providers. The vulnerability was disclosed in March 2023 and affects systems using QEMU with pvrdma devices. Administrators should apply patches or mitigations to prevent guest-triggered host crashes.
