    Host-side AddressSanitizer heap-buffer-overflow READ in current QEMU master through the virtio-net-pci     receive filtering path on q35. The crash is in receive_filter(). (CVE-2026-63320)

    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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

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