Memory leak in the vcard_apdu_new function in card_7816.c in libcacard before 2.5.3 allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host memory consumption) via vectors related to allocating a new APDU object.

According to the versions of the libcacard package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Memory leak in the vcard_apdu_new function in card_7816.c in libcacard before 2.5.3 allows local guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (host memory consumption) via vectors related to allocating a new APDU     object. (CVE-2017-6414)

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

  - A malicious 64-bit PV guest may be able to access all of     system memory, allowing for all of privilege escalation,     host crashes, and information leaks by placing a IRET     hypercall in the middle of a multicall batch (XSA-213,     bsc#1034843)

  - A malicious pair of guests may be able to access all of     system memory, allowing for all of privilege escalation,     host crashes, and information leaks because of a missing     check when transfering pages via GNTTABOP_transfer     (XSA-214, bsc#1034844).

  - CVE-2017-7718: hw/display/cirrus_vga_rop.h allowed local     guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) via vectors     related to copying VGA data via the     cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_transp_ and cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_     functions (bsc#1034994).

  - CVE-2016-9603: A privileged user within the guest VM     could have caused a heap overflow in the device model     process, potentially escalating their privileges to that     of the device model process (bsc#1028655)

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

This update for xen fixes the following issues: These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-7228: Broken check in memory_exchange()     permited PV guest breakout (bsc#1030442).

  - XSA-206: Unprivileged guests issuing writes to xenstore     were able to stall progress of the control domain or     driver domain, possibly leading to a Denial of Service     (DoS) of the entire host (bsc#1030144).

  - CVE-2016-9603: A privileged user within the guest VM can     cause a heap overflow in the device model process,     potentially escalating their privileges to that of the     device model process (bsc#1028655).

  - CVE-2017-6414: Memory leak in the vcard_apdu_new     function in card_7816.c in libcacard allowed local guest     OS users to cause a denial of service (host memory     consumption) via vectors related to allocating a new     APDU object (bsc#1027570).

  - CVE-2017-6505: The ohci_service_ed_list function in     hw/usb/hcd-ohci.c allowed local guest OS users to cause     a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors     involving the number of link endpoint list descriptors     (bsc#1028235).

  - CVE-2017-2633: The VNC display driver support was     vulnerable to an out-of-bounds memory access issue. A     user/process inside guest could use this flaw to cause     DoS (bsc#1026636).
