  Hello,

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Network Block Device(NBD) Server support is vulnerable to a crash via SIGPIPE signal. It could occur if a client aborts connection due to any failure during negotiation.

A remote user/process could use this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server resulting in DoS.
