CVE-2019-12929
9.8
CRITICAL · CVSS 3.0 · EPSS 4.9% (pctl 92)
In your normal cycle
Critical by CVSS (9.8), but no sign of active exploitation.
Description
The QMP guest_exec command in QEMU 4.0.0 and earlier is prone to OS command injection, which allows the attacker to achieve code execution, denial of service, or information disclosure by sending a crafted QMP command to the listening server. Note: This has been disputed as a non-issue since QEMU's -qmp interface is meant to be used by trusted users. If one is able to access this interface via a tcp socket open to the internet, then it is an insecure configuration issue
