An attacker with write access to the host filesystem shared with a guest can use this     property to navigate the host filesystem in the context of the QEMU process and read any file the QEMU     process has access to. Access to the filesystem may be local or via a network share protocol such as CIFS.

  - An OOB heap buffer r/w access issue was found in the NVM Express Controller emulation in QEMU. It could     occur in nvme_cmb_ops routines in nvme device.

    (CVE-2018-16847)

  - hw/9pfs/cofile.c and hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU can modify an fid path while it is being accessed by a second     thread, leading to (for example) a use-after-free outcome. (CVE-2018-19364)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201706-03 (QEMU: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in QEMU. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker might cause a Denial of Service or gain escalated       privileges from a guest VM.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in qemu-kvm, a full virtualization solution for Linux hosts on x86 hardware with x86 guests based on the Quick Emulator(Qemu).

CVE-2016-9602

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper link following issue. It could occur while accessing symbolic link files on a shared host directory.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to access host file system beyond the shared folder and potentially escalating their privileges on a host.

CVE-2017-7377

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio-9p back-end support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while doing a I/O operation via v9fs_create/v9fs_lcreate routine.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to leak host memory resulting in Dos.

CVE-2017-7471

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 files on a shared host directory.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to access host file system beyond the shared folder and potentially escalating their privileges on a host.

CVE-2017-7493

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-2017-8086

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio-9p back-end support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while querying file system extended attributes via 9pfs_list_xattr() routine.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to leak host memory resulting in Dos. For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u22.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
