Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A flaw was found in QEMU. This vulnerability allows a local attacker within a guest virtual machine to
write data beyond its allocated memory. This occurs when cpu_physical_memory_map() returns a shorter
length than expected, leading to an out-of-bounds write. Successful exploitation could result in
unauthorized access to guest memory or corruption of heap-allocated objects, potentially causing
information disclosure, data integrity issues, or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-3842)
