Qemu-kvm: virtio-snd: integer overflow leading to unbounded memory allocation
An integer overflow vulnerability was found in the virtio-snd device via PCM_INFO requests from the guest. A malicious guest can provide out-of-bounds stream counts, potentially leading to unbounded memory allocation on the host and a denial of service condition.
