  Hello,

A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in various system emulators of 
QEMU. It could occur while performing MMIO r/w operations, in case the 
respective handler function is not defined. A privileged guest user able to 
invoke MMIO operation may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host 
resulting in DoS scenario.
