https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20210507-0001/

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

  - sd_wp_addr in hw/sd/sd.c in QEMU 4.2.0 uses an unvalidated address, which leads to an out-of-bounds read     during sdhci_write() operations. A guest OS user can crash the QEMU process. (CVE-2020-13253)

  - In QEMU 5.0.0 and earlier, es1370_transfer_audio in hw/audio/es1370.c does not properly validate the frame     count, which allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access during an es1370_write() operation.
    (CVE-2020-13361)

  - In QEMU 5.0.0 and earlier, megasas_lookup_frame in hw/scsi/megasas.c has an out-of-bounds read via a     crafted reply_queue_head field from a guest OS user. (CVE-2020-13362)

  - address_space_map in exec.c in QEMU 4.2.0 can trigger a NULL pointer dereference related to BounceBuffer.
    (CVE-2020-13659)

  - hw/pci/msix.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access via a crafted address     in an msi-x mmio operation. (CVE-2020-13754)

  - hw/pci/pci.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access by providing an     address near the end of the PCI configuration space. (CVE-2020-13791)

  - In QEMU through 5.0.0, an assertion failure can occur in the network packet processing. This issue affects     the e1000e and vmxnet3 network devices.

This issue occurs while processing SCSI     I/O requests in the case of an error mptsas_free_request() that does not dequeue the request object 'req'     from a pending requests queue. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the     host, resulting in a denial of service. Versions between 2.10.0 and 5.2.0 are potentially affected.
    (CVE-2021-3392)

  - A flaw was found in the USB redirector device (usb-redir) of QEMU. Small USB packets are combined into a     single, large transfer request, to reduce the overhead and improve performance. The combined size of the     bulk transfer is used to dynamically allocate a variable length array (VLA) on the stack without proper     validation. Since the total size is not bounded, a malicious guest could use this flaw to influence the     array length and cause the QEMU process to perform an excessive allocation on the stack, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2021-3527)

  - Several memory leaks were found in the virtio vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of QEMU in versions     up to and including 6.0. They exist in contrib/vhost-user-gpu/vhost-user-gpu.c and contrib/vhost-user-     gpu/virgl.c due to improper release of memory (i.e., free) after effective lifetime. (CVE-2021-3544)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability was found in the virtio vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of     QEMU in versions up to and including 6.0. The flaw exists in virgl_cmd_get_capset_info() in contrib/vhost-     user-gpu/virgl.c and could occur due to the read of uninitialized memory. A malicious guest could exploit     this issue to leak memory from the host. (CVE-2021-3545)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the virtio vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of     QEMU in versions up to and including 6.0. The flaw occurs while processing the 'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET'     command from the guest. It could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host,     resulting in a denial of service condition, or potential code execution with the privileges of the QEMU     process. (CVE-2021-3546)

According to the versions of the qemu-kvm packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in QEMU. A heap-based buffer overflow     vulnerability was found in the SDHCI device emulation     support allowing a guest user or process to crash the     QEMU process on the host resulting in a denial of     service condition, or potentially execute arbitrary     code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-17380)

  - A flaw was found in QEMU. An out-of-bounds read/write     access issue was found in the SDHCI Controller emulator     of QEMU. It may occur while doing multi block SDMA, if     transfer block size exceeds the     's->fifo_buffer[s->buf_maxsz]' size which would leave     the current element pointer 's->data_count' pointing     out of bounds. This would lead the subsequent DMA r/w     operation to an OOB access issue where a guest     user/process may use this flaw to crash the QEMU     process resulting in DoS scenario. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and     integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-25085)

  - The patch for CVE-2020-17380 and CVE-2020-25085, both     involving a heap buffer overflow in the SDHCI     controller emulation code of QEMU, was found to be     incomplete. A malicious privileged guest could     reproduce the same issues with specially crafted input,     inducing a bogus transfer and subsequent out-of-bounds     read/write access in sdhci_do_adma() or     sdhci_sdma_transfer_multi_blocks(). CVE-2021-3409 was     assigned to facilitate the tracking and backporting of     the new patch.(CVE-2021-3409)
