Parameter Value
CVSS 6.7 (MEDIUM)
Type CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size)
Vendor virtio-win
Public PoC No

A flaw was found in virtio-win. The `RhelDoUnMap()` function does not properly validate the number of descriptors provided by a user during an unmap request. A local user could exploit this input validation vulnerability by supplying an excessive number of descriptors, leading to a buffer overrun.

This can cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
