    virtio-balloon: fix free-page BH teardown on unrealize (CVE-2026-66899)

    hw/net/virtio-net: strip trailing padding when caching RSC segment (CVE-2026-66900)

    hw/display/vga: fix text-mode OOB write after a graphics surface switch (CVE-2026-77913)

    A flaw was found in QEMU. The VAPIC setup hypercall in hw/i386/vapic.c does not validate that the writable     RAM alias remains within the option ROM window. A privileged guest user on a Q35/KVM machine can position     this alias over locked SMRAM, bypassing chipset D_LCK protection and injecting code into System Management     Mode memory. (CVE-2026-81627)

    io/channel-socket: do not treat a zero length write as an error (CVE-2026-84788)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in QEMU's 9pfs subsystem. A race condition between the main     thread and a worker thread when processing concurrent Tlcreate and Twalk requests allows a malicious guest     user to craft a fid path containing stale heap data, bypassing directory traversal restrictions and     escaping the shared directory boundary. This can lead to arbitrary host file read/write and code execution     (VM escape) as the QEMU process user. (CVE-2026-93834)

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

The version of qemu installed on the remote host is prior to 3.1.0-8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-4009 advisory.

    QEMU's 9pfs readonly check at line 2108-2109 tests mode & O_TRUNC and mode & O_APPEND against the raw 9P     open mode byte. For the 9P2000.u protocol, mode uses 9P flag values (Otrunc=0x10, Oappend=0x80), but the     check compares against Linux constants (O_TRUNC=0x200, O_APPEND=0x400). Since 0x10 & 0x200 = 0 and 0x80 &     0x400 = 0, both flags bypass the readonly guard. The mode is then correctly converted to host flags via     omode_to_uflags(), so open() is called with O_TRUNC -- truncating host files on readonly shares.9P2000.L     is NOT affected (guest passes Linux flags directly, so the bit values match).
