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.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2408 advisory.

    KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of     architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines     that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with Network Block Device (NBD) Server support was vulnerable to a null-     pointer dereference issue. The flaw could occur when releasing a client that was not initialized due to     failed negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server (denial     of service). (CVE-2017-9524)

    * An information-exposure flaw was found in Quick Emulator (QEMU) in Task Priority Register (TPR)     optimizations for 32-bit Windows guests. The flaw could occur while accessing TPR. A privileged user     inside a guest could use this issue to read portions of the host memory. (CVE-2016-4020)

    * A memory-leak flaw was found in the Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with USB xHCI controller emulation     support. The flaw could occur while doing a USB-device unplug operation. Unplugging the device repeatedly     resulted in leaking host memory, which affected other services on the host. A privileged user inside the     guest could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service on the host or potentially crash the host's     QEMU process instance. (CVE-2016-7466)

    * Multiple CVEs were fixed as a result of rebase to QEMU 2.9.0. (CVE-2016-6888, CVE-2016-7422,     CVE-2016-8576, CVE-2016-8669, CVE-2016-8909, CVE-2016-8910, CVE-2016-9907, CVE-2016-9911, CVE-2016-9921,     CVE-2016-9922, CVE-2016-10155, CVE-2017-5579, CVE-2017-5973, CVE-2017-6414, CVE-2017-8309, CVE-2017-8379,     CVE-2017-9310, CVE-2017-9373, CVE-2017-9374, CVE-2017-9375)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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)

  - 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).
