hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c in QEMU through 10.0.3 has a migration state inconsistency, a related issue to CVE-2024-26327.

The version of QEMU installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 10.0.3 and therefore vulnerable to the following:

  - hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c in QEMU through 10.0.3 has a migration state inconsistency, a related issue to     CVE-2024-26327. (CVE-2025-54566)

  - hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c in QEMU through 10.0.3 mishandles the VF Enable bit write mask, a related issue to     CVE-2024-26327. (CVE-2025-54567)

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

The remote Debian 12 / 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5983 advisory.

    Package        : qemu     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-54566 CVE-2025-54567

    This update removes the usage of the C (Credential) flag for the     binfmt_misc registration within the qemu-user package, as it allowed for     privilege escalation when running a suid/sgid binary under qemu-user.
    This means suid/sgid foreign-architecture binaries are not running with     elevated privileges under qemu-user anymore.  If you relied on this     behavior of qemu-user in the past (running suid/sgid foreign-arch     binaries), this will require changes to your deployment.

    In Bookworm the affected packages are qemu-user-static (and     qemu-user-binfmt) instead of qemu-user.

    Additionally, two security issues were fixed the in SR-IOV support     of QEMU system emulation.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 1:7.2+dfsg-7+deb12u15.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1:10.0.2+ds-2+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
