What is CVE-2021-3713?

An out-of-bounds write flaw exists within the USB Attached SCSI (UAS) device emulation of QEMU, affecting versions prior to 6.2.0-rc0. This vulnerability arises when the stream number supplied by the guest is not properly checked, potentially allowing for out-of-bounds access to specific fields within the UAS device structure. An attacker with malicious intent may exploit this flaw to crash the QEMU instance or, more severely, execute arbitrary code with the same privileges as the QEMU process running on the host system.
