A NULL pointer dereference in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service via malformed commands.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-017549 advisory.

    A NULL pointer dereference in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows guest OS users to     cause a denial of service via malformed commands.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

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

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - A NULL pointer dereference in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows guest OS users to
    cause a denial of service via malformed commands. (CVE-2019-18388)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow in the vrend_renderer_transfer_write_iov function in vrend_renderer.c in
    virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service, or QEMU guest-to-host
    escape and code execution, via VIRGL_CCMD_RESOURCE_INLINE_WRITE commands. (CVE-2019-18389)

  - An out-of-bounds read in the vrend_blit_need_swizzle function in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through
    0.8.0 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service via VIRGL_CCMD_BLIT commands. (CVE-2019-18390)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow in the vrend_renderer_transfer_write_iov function in vrend_renderer.c in
    virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service via
    VIRGL_CCMD_RESOURCE_INLINE_WRITE commands. (CVE-2019-18391)

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

  - A NULL pointer dereference in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows guest OS users to     cause a denial of service via malformed commands. (CVE-2019-18388)

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

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3232 advisory.

    Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in virglrenderer, a virtual     GPU for KVM virtualization.

    CVE-2019-18388

        A NULL pointer dereference in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through         0.8.0 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service via malformed         commands.

    CVE-2019-18389

        A heap-based buffer overflow in the vrend_renderer_transfer_write_iov         function in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows         guest OS users to cause a denial of service, or QEMU guest-to-host         escape and code execution, via VIRGL_CCMD_RESOURCE_INLINE_WRITE         commands.

    CVE-2019-18390

        An out-of-bounds read in the vrend_blit_need_swizzle function in         vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows guest OS         users to cause a denial of service via VIRGL_CCMD_BLIT commands.

    CVE-2019-18391

        A heap-based buffer overflow in the vrend_renderer_transfer_write_iov         function in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through 0.8.0 allows         guest OS users to cause a denial of service via         VIRGL_CCMD_RESOURCE_INLINE_WRITE commands.

    CVE-2020-8002

        A NULL pointer dereference in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through         0.8.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via commands that attempt         to launch a grid without previously providing a Compute Shader (CS).

    CVE-2020-8003

        A double-free vulnerability in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through         0.8.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering texture         allocation failure, because vrend_renderer_resource_allocated_texture is not an         appropriate place for a free.

    CVE-2022-0135

        An out-of-bounds write issue was found in the VirGL virtual OpenGL renderer         (virglrenderer). This flaw allows a malicious guest to create a specially         crafted virgil resource and then issue a VIRTGPU_EXECBUFFER ioctl, leading to a         denial of service or possible code execution.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     0.7.0-2+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your virglrenderer packages.
