A DMA reentrancy issue leading to a use-after-free error was found in the e1000e NIC emulation code in QEMU. This issue could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.

The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2024:2135 advisory.

  - A DMA reentrancy issue leading to a use-after-free error was found in the e1000e NIC emulation code in     QEMU. This issue could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2023-3019)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. A wrong exit     condition may lead to an infinite loop when inflating an attacker controlled zlib buffer in the     `inflate_buffer` function. This could allow a remote authenticated client who is able to send a clipboard     to the VNC server to trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3255)

  - QEMU through 8.0.0 could trigger a division by zero in scsi_disk_reset in hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c because     scsi_disk_emulate_mode_select does not prevent s->qdev.blocksize from being 256. This stops QEMU and the     guest immediately. (CVE-2023-42467)

  - A bug in QEMU could cause a guest I/O operation otherwise addressed to an arbitrary disk offset to be     targeted to offset 0 instead (potentially overwriting the VM's boot code). This could be used, for     example, by L2 guests with a virtual disk (vdiskL2) stored on a virtual disk of an L1 (vdiskL1) hypervisor     to read and/or write data to LBA 0 of vdiskL1, potentially gaining control of L1 at its next reboot.
    (CVE-2023-5088)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. The     qemu_clipboard_request() function can be reached before vnc_server_cut_text_caps() was called and had the     chance to initialize the clipboard peer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This could allow a     malicious authenticated VNC client to crash QEMU and trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6683)

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

  - A double free vulnerability was found in QEMU virtio devices (virtio-gpu, virtio-serial-bus, virtio-     crypto), where the mem_reentrancy_guard flag insufficiently protects against DMA reentrancy issues. This     issue could allow a malicious privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service or allow arbitrary code execution within the context of the QEMU process on the host.

This could allow a     malicious authenticated VNC client to crash QEMU and trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6683)

  - QEMU before 8.2.0 has an integer underflow, and resultant buffer overflow, via a TI command when an     expected non-DMA transfer length is less than the length of the available FIFO data. This occurs in     esp_do_nodma in hw/scsi/esp.c because of an underflow of async_len. (CVE-2024-24474)

  - A double free vulnerability was found in QEMU virtio devices (virtio-gpu, virtio-serial-bus, virtio-     crypto), where the mem_reentrancy_guard flag insufficiently protects against DMA reentrancy issues. This     issue could allow a malicious privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service or allow arbitrary code execution within the context of the QEMU process on the host.

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2024-12276 advisory.

  - A stack based buffer overflow was found in the virtio-net device of QEMU. This issue occurs when flushing     TX in the virtio_net_flush_tx function if guest features VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT, VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 and     VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF are enabled. This could allow a malicious user to overwrite local variables     allocated on the stack. Specifically, the `out_sg` variable could be used to read a part of process memory     and send it to the wire, causing an information leak. (CVE-2023-6693)

  - An off-by-one error flaw was found in the udevListInterfacesByStatus() function in libvirt when the number     of interfaces exceeds the size of the `names` array. This issue can be reproduced by sending specially     crafted data to the libvirt daemon, allowing an unprivileged client to perform a denial of service attack     by causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-1441)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. The     qemu_clipboard_request() function can be reached before vnc_server_cut_text_caps() was called and had the     chance to initialize the clipboard peer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

    (CVE-2023-5088)

  - A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the USB EHCI controller emulation of QEMU. EHCI does not verify if the     Buffer Pointer overlaps with its MMIO region when it transfers the USB packets. Crafted content may be     written to the controller's registers and trigger undesirable actions (such as reset) while the device is     still transferring packets. This can ultimately lead to a use-after-free issue. A malicious guest could     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition, or     potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process on the host. This flaw affects     QEMU versions before 7.0.0. (CVE-2021-3750)

  - A DMA reentrancy issue leading to a use-after-free error was found in the e1000e NIC emulation code in     QEMU. This issue could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2023-3019)

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

  - A flaw was found in the 9p passthrough filesystem (9pfs) implementation in QEMU. The 9pfs server did not     prohibit opening special files on the host side, potentially allowing a malicious client to escape from     the exported 9p tree by creating and opening a device file in the shared folder. (CVE-2023-2861)

  - A DMA reentrancy issue leading to a use-after-free error was found in the e1000e NIC emulation code in     QEMU. This issue could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2023-3019)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU virtual crypto device while handling data encryption/decryption requests in     virtio_crypto_handle_sym_req. There is no check for the value of `src_len` and `dst_len` in     virtio_crypto_sym_op_helper, potentially leading to a heap buffer overflow when the two values differ.
    (CVE-2023-3180)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. A wrong exit     condition may lead to an infinite loop when inflating an attacker controlled zlib buffer in the     `inflate_buffer` function. This could allow a remote authenticated client who is able to send a clipboard     to the VNC server to trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3255)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server. When a client connects to the VNC server, QEMU checks     whether the current number of connections crosses a certain threshold and if so, cleans up the previous     connection. If the previous connection happens to be in the handshake phase and fails, QEMU cleans up the     connection again, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference issue. This could allow a remote unauthenticated     client to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3354)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. This flaw allows a crafted guest     driver to allocate and initialize a huge number of page tables to be used as a ring of descriptors for CQ and     async events, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds read and crash of QEMU. (CVE-2023-1544)
