It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain VT100 escape sequences. A guest user with access to an emulated character device could use this flaw to cause QEMU to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host.

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.
