Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for qemu.

CVE-2026-93834[0]:
| A use-after-free vulnerability was found in QEMU's 9pfs subsystem. A
| race condition between the main thread and a worker thread when
| processing concurrent Tlcreate and Twalk requests allows a malicious
| guest user to craft a fid path containing stale heap data, bypassing
| directory traversal restrictions and escaping the shared directory
| boundary. This can lead to arbitrary host file read/write and code
| execution (VM escape) as the QEMU process user.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
