Andrew Griffiths discovered that QEMU did not correctly drop privileges when using the ‘runas’ argument. Under certain circumstances a local attacker could exploit this to escalate privileges.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
