[debian-lts-announce] 20180906 [SECURITY] [DLA 1497-1] qemu security update

According to the versions of the qemu packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Quick Emulator (Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host     directory sharing via Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support,     is vulnerable to an improper access control issue. It     could occur while accessing virtfs metadata files in     mapped-file security mode. A guest user could use this     flaw to escalate their privileges inside     guest.(CVE-2017-7493)

  - qemu-bridge-helper.c in QEMU 4.0.0 does not ensure that     a network interface name (obtained from bridge.conf or     a --br=bridge option) is limited to the IFNAMSIZ size,     which can lead to an ACL bypass.(CVE-2019-13164)

  - Qemu has a Buffer Overflow in pcnet_receive in     hw/net/pcnet.c because an incorrect integer data type     is used.(CVE-2018-17962)

  - Buffer overflow in the 'megasas_mmio_write' function in     Qemu 2.9.0 allows remote attackers to have unspecified     impact via unknown vectors.(CVE-2017-8380)

  - qemu_deliver_packet_iov in net/net.c in Qemu accepts     packet sizes greater than INT_MAX, which allows     attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact.(CVE-2018-17963)

  - In QEMU 3.1.0, load_device_tree in device_tree.c calls     the deprecated load_image function, which has a buffer     overflow risk.(CVE-2018-20815)

  - interface_release_resource in hw/display/qxl.c in QEMU     4.0.0 has a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-12155)

  - An issue was discovered in ide_dma_cb() in     hw/ide/core.c in QEMU 2.4.0 through 4.2.0. The guest     system can crash the QEMU process in the host system     via a special SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND. It hits an     assertion that implies that the size of successful DMA     transfers there must be a multiple of 512 (the size of     a sector). NOTE: a member of the QEMU security team     disputes the significance of this issue because a     'privileged guest user has many ways to cause similar     DoS effect, without triggering this     assert.'(CVE-2019-20175)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the sofree function in     slirp/socket.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (QEMU instance     crash) by leveraging failure to properly clear ifq_so     from pending packets.(CVE-2017-13711)

  - Qemu has a Buffer Overflow in rtl8139_do_receive in     hw/net/rtl8139.c because an incorrect integer data type     is used.(CVE-2018-17958)

  - ip_reass in ip_input.c in libslirp 4.0.0 has a     heap-based buffer overflow via a large packet because     it mishandles a case involving the first     fragment.(CVE-2019-14378)

  - m_cat in slirp/mbuf.c in Qemu has a heap-based buffer     overflow via incoming fragmented     datagrams.(CVE-2018-11806)

  - Memory leak in the audio/audio.c in QEMU (aka Quick     Emulator) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption) by repeatedly starting and     stopping audio capture.(CVE-2017-8309)

  - Memory leak in the keyboard input event handlers     support in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest     OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (host     memory consumption) by rapidly generating large     keyboard events.(CVE-2017-8379)

  - hw/input/ps2.c in Qemu does not validate 'rptr' and     'count' values during guest migration, leading to     out-of-bounds access(CVE-2017-16845)

  - The cirrus_invalidate_region function in     hw/display/cirrus_vga.c in Qemu allows local OS guest     privileged users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds array access and QEMU process crash) via     vectors related to negative pitch.(CVE-2017-18030)

  - An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in     the USB emulator of the QEMU in versions before 5.2.0.
    This issue occurs while processing USB packets from a     guest when USBDevice 'setup_len' exceeds its     'data_buf[4096]' in the do_token_in, do_token_out     routines. This flaw allows a guest user to crash the     QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service, or the     potential execution of arbitrary code with the     privileges of the QEMU process on the     host.(CVE-2020-14364)

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update for kvm fixes the following issues: This update has the next round of Spectre v2 related patches, which now integrates with corresponding changes in libvirt. A January 2018 release of qemu initially addressed the Spectre v2 vulnerability for KVM guests by exposing the spec-ctrl feature for all x86 vcpu types, which was the quick and dirty approach, but not the proper solution. We remove that initial patch and now rely on patches from upstream. This update defines spec_ctrl and ibpb cpu feature flags as well as new cpu models which are clones of existing models with either -IBRS or -IBPB added to the end of the model name. These new vcpu models explicitly include the new feature(s), whereas the feature flags can be added to the cpu parameter as with other features. In short, for continued Spectre v2 protection, ensure that either the appropriate cpu feature flag is added to the QEMU command-line, or one of the new cpu models is used.
Although migration from older versions is supported, the new cpu features won't be properly exposed to the guest until it is restarted with the cpu features explicitly added. A reboot is insufficient. A warning patch is added which attempts to detect a migration from a qemu version which had the quick and dirty fix (it only detects certain cases, but hopefully is helpful.) For additional information on Spectre v2 as it relates to QEMU, see:
https://www.qemu.org/2018/02/14/qemu-2-11-1-and-spectre-update/ (CVE-2017-5715 bsc#1068032) A patch is added to continue to detect Spectre v2 mitigation features (as shown by cpuid), and if found provide that feature to guests, even if running on older KVM (kernel) versions which do not yet expose that feature to QEMU. (bsc#1082276) Additional security fixes :

  - CVE-2018-5683: An out-of-bounds read in vga_draw_text     routine was fixed which could lead to crashes or     information leakage. (bsc#1076114)

  - CVE-2018-7550: multiboot OOB access while loading kernel     image was fixed that could lead to crashes (bsc#1083291)

  - CVE-2017-18030: An out-of-bounds access in     cirrus_invalidate_region routine could lead to crashes     or information leakage (bsc#1076179)

  - Eliminate bogus use of CPUID_7_0_EDX_PRED_CMD which     we've carried since the initial Spectre v2 patch was     added. EDX bit 27 of CPUID Leaf 07H, Sub-leaf 0 provides     status on STIBP, and not the PRED_CMD MSR. Exposing the     STIBP CPUID feature bit to the guest is wrong in     general, since the VM doesn't directly control the     scheduling of physical hyperthreads. This is left     strictly to the L0 hypervisor.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

  - CVE-2017-15119: The Network Block Device (NBD) server in     Quick Emulator (QEMU), was vulnerable to a denial of     service issue. It could occur if a client sent large     option requests, making the server waste CPU time on     reading up to 4GB per request. A client could use this     flaw to keep the NBD server from serving other requests,     resulting in DoS. (bsc#1070144)

  - CVE-2017-15124: VNC server implementation in Quick     Emulator (QEMU) was found to be vulnerable to an     unbounded memory allocation issue, as it did not     throttle the framebuffer updates sent to its client. If     the client did not consume these updates, VNC server     allocates growing memory to hold onto this data. A     malicious remote VNC client could use this flaw to cause     DoS to the server host. (bsc#1073489)

  - CVE-2017-16845: The PS2 driver in Qemu did not validate     'rptr' and 'count' values during guest migration,     leading to out-of-bounds access. (bsc#1068613)

  - CVE-2017-17381: The Virtio Vring implementation in QEMU     allowed local OS guest users to cause a denial of     service (divide-by-zero error and QEMU process crash) by     unsetting vring alignment while updating Virtio rings.
    (bsc#1071228)

  - CVE-2017-18030: A problem in the Cirrus driver in Qemu     allowed local OS guest privileged users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds array access and QEMU     process crash) via vectors related to negative pitch.
    (bsc#1076179)

  - CVE-2017-18043: Integer overflow in the macro ROUND_UP     (n, d) in Quick Emulator (Qemu) allowed a user to cause     a denial of service (Qemu process crash). (bsc#1076775)

  - CVE-2018-5683: The VGA driver in Qemu allowed local OS     guest privileged users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) by     leveraging improper memory address validation.
    (bsc#1076114)

  - CVE-2018-7550: The multiboot functionality in Quick     Emulator (aka QEMU) allowed local guest OS users to     execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via an     out-of-bounds read or write memory access. (bsc#1083291)     Also the following bugs were fixed :

  - Eliminate bogus use of CPUID_7_0_EDX_PRED_CMD which     we've carried since the initial Spectre v2 patch was     added. EDX bit 27 of CPUID Leaf 07H, Sub-leaf 0 provides     status on STIBP, and not the PRED_CMD MSR. Exposing the     STIBP CPUID feature bit to the guest is wrong in     general, since the VM doesn't directly control the     scheduling of physical hyperthreads. This is left     strictly to the L0 hypervisor.

  - Spectre fixes for IBM Z series by providing more hw     features to guests (bsc#1076814)

  - Pre-add group kvm for qemu-tools (bsc#1040202)

  - the qemu-tools package also needs a prerequire of group     management tools, from the shadow package. (bsc#1085598)

This update for xen fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5754: Prevent     information leaks via side effects of speculative     execution, aka 'Spectre' and 'Meltdown' attacks     (bsc#1074562, bsc#1068032)

  - CVE-2018-5683: The vga_draw_text function allowed local     OS guest privileged users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) by     leveraging improper memory address validation     (bsc#1076116).

  - CVE-2017-18030: The cirrus_invalidate_region function     allowed local OS guest privileged users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds array access and QEMU     process crash) via vectors related to negative pitch     (bsc#1076180).

  - CVE-2017-15595: x86 PV guest OS users were able to cause     a DoS (unbounded recursion, stack consumption, and     hypervisor crash) or possibly gain privileges via     crafted page-table stacking (bsc#1061081)

  - CVE-2017-17566: Prevent PV guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (host OS crash) or gain host OS     privileges in shadow mode by mapping a certain auxiliary     page (bsc#1070158).

  - CVE-2017-17563: Prevent guest OS users to cause a denial     of service (host OS crash) or gain host OS privileges by     leveraging an incorrect mask for reference-count     overflow checking in shadow mode (bsc#1070159).

  - CVE-2017-17564: Prevent guest OS users to cause a denial     of service (host OS crash) or gain host OS privileges by     leveraging incorrect error handling for reference     counting in shadow mode (bsc#1070160).

  - CVE-2017-17565: Prevent PV guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (host OS crash) if shadow mode and     log-dirty mode are in place, because of an incorrect     assertion related to M2P (bsc#1070163).

  - Added missing intermediate preemption checks for guest     requesting removal of memory. This allowed malicious     guest administrator to cause denial of service due to     the high cost of this operation (bsc#1080635).

  - Because of XEN not returning the proper error messages     when transitioning grant tables from v2 to v1 a     malicious guest was able to cause DoS or potentially     allowed for privilege escalation as well as information     leaks (bsc#1080662).

  - CVE-2017-5898: The CCID Card device emulator support was     vulnerable to an integer overflow flaw allowing a     privileged user to crash the Qemu process on the host     resulting in DoS (bsc#1024307)

  - Unprivileged domains could have issued well-timed writes     to xenstore which conflict with transactions to stall     progress of the control domain or driver domain,     possibly leading to DoS (bsc#1030144, XSA-206).
