Qemu-kvm: 'qemu-img info' leads to host file read/write
Type: advisorySources: OSV

A specially crafted image file containing a `json:{}` value describing block devices in QMP could cause the qemu-img process on the host to consume large amounts of memory or CPU time, leading to denial of service or read/write to an existing external file.
