CVE-2008-1945

Publication date 8 August 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

QEMU 0.9.0 does not properly handle changes to removable media, which allows guest OS users to read arbitrary files on the host OS by using the diskformat: parameter in the -usbdevice option to modify the disk-image header to identify a different format, a related issue to CVE-2008-2004.
