Vendor Workaround
Do not configure 9pfs/VirtFS filesystem sharing (-fsdev, -virtfs) on affected QEMU instances. If host-guest file sharing is required, use virtio-fs (virtiofsd) as an alternative, which does not use the vulnerable 9pfs code path.

| Description | A use-after-free vulnerability was found in QEMU's 9pfs subsystem. A race condition between the main thread and a worker thread when processing concurrent Tlcreate and Twalk requests allows a malicious guest user to craft a fid path containing stale heap data, bypassing directory traversal restrictions and escaping the shared directory boundary. This can lead to arbitrary host file read/write and code execution (VM escape) as the QEMU process user. | |
