It was discovered that QEMU did not properly setup the virtio networking features available to its guests. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash QEMU guests which use virtio networking on Linux kernels earlier than 2.6.26.

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.
