A heap-based buffer overflow was found in QEMU through 5.0.0 in the SDHCIdevice emulation support. It could occur while doing a multi block SDMAtransfer via the sdhci_sdma_transfer_multi_blocks() routine inhw/sd/sdhci.c. A guest user or process could use this flaw to crash theQEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition, orpotentially execute arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process onthe host.
