Hello,
A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in the Floopy disk emulator of
QEMU. It could occur while processing read/write ioport commands, if the
selected Floopy drive is not initialised with a block device. A privileged
guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting
in DoS scenario.
