qemu-kvm is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability exists as it was found that the virtio-blk driver in qemu-kvm did not properly validate read and write requests from guests. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the guest or, possibly, execute arbitrary code on the host.
