CVE-2023-3301

Triggerable assertion due to race condition in hot-unplug

Published: 9/13/2023 Last updated: 2/13/2025 Reserved: 6/17/2023

A flaw was found in QEMU. The async nature of hot-unplug enables a race scenario where the net device backend is cleared before the virtio-net pci frontend has been unplugged. A malicious guest could use this time window to trigger an assertion and cause a denial of service.
