CVE-2007-6227
Description
From CVE.org
QEMU 0.9.0 allows local users of a Windows XP SP2 guest operating system to overwrite the TranslationBlock (code_gen_buffer) buffer, and probably have unspecified other impacts related to an "overflow," via certain Windows executable programs, as demonstrated by qemu-dos.com.
Statement
Xen and KVM, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 by default use only peripheral device emulation of QEMU and are therefore not vulnerable to this issue.
